The irony is that the subfield with active hiring is the one that will ultimately make the very work they are doing redundant.

The magic is gone and the intellectual challenge is fading fast. I saw the writing on the wall and am jumping ship to something decidedly non-tech 🙂

Its not that no one is getting jobs, its that the market is saturated and getting worse. Tech firms have layed off or off shored hundreds of thousands of workers and with “AI” the number of roles is dropping quickly; especially entry level roles.
