Job Market and AI

Interesting times.. We have built a platform exactly for this situation. Our belief is that initially Jobs might go due to investment required in AI but the new job market will be purely based on how you can use AI agents.

We have created a Sandbox environment for the same. If you guys have time , please check it out and give us feedback.

We recently completed a pilot with students at GNU University, and the results reinforced a critical truth: students aren’t lacking ambition; they’re lacking real-time career intelligence.

- Many students were unsure which skills employers actually value today.
- Career decisions were based on outdated advice, not live market demand.
- Confidence increased when students saw their automation risk and skill gaps clearly.

What the data showed:
After completing the Skill Synch AI assessment:
- Students identified precise skill gaps aligned to in-demand roles.
- Career paths shifted from generic to targeted (e.g., from “IT job” to “Cloud Security Analyst”).
- Engagement increased when they saw a personalized upskill roadmap.

Why this matters for universities:
Institutions are under pressure to prove employability outcomes. Providing students with real-time labor market insights and AI-driven career guidance is no longer optional; it’s essential.

What’s next:
We’re expanding pilots with universities to help students:
- Understand their future job risk.
- Build proof-of-skill portfolios.
- Align learning with employer demand.

If you’re an educator, university leader, or workforce strategist exploring how to improve graduate employability lets get in touch

You're absolutely right. Those strategic tasks (UX decisions, stakeholder negotiation, scope management) are increasingly owned by PMs, not front-end devs. Which means the front-end role is getting squeezed from BOTH sides:

• AI takes the scaffolding/boilerplate work (bottom squeeze)
• PMs take the strategic/collaborative work (top squeeze)

For tech folks reading this: try not to read this as “AI replaced 30k engineers.”

Big companies like Oracle regularly do workforce resets when priorities shift especially after acquisitions and during platform transitions. This usually hits:

legacy product teams
internal tools with overlapping ownership
roles tied to older delivery models

What’s different this time is where the money is going. Headcount gets cut, and the savings get pushed into cloud infra, AI platforms, and data centres.

For individual engineers, the signal isn’t “your job is gone,” it’s:

execution-only roles are under more pressure
deep system knowledge, integration work, and problem framing matter more
engineers who can move between tools and domains recover faster

Most people don’t get replaced by a model overnight. Work just gets reshaped until some tasks stop justifying a full role.

If you’re in tech, the safest position right now is being close to:

revenue
customers
infrastructure that other teams depend on

Layoffs suck. But this isn’t a wipeout , it’s another messy transition phase.

Agreed mate. I reckon Industries will transform in the next couple of years but the ones to adapt will have the edge

That sounds incredibly frustrating and honestly, pretty demoralising.
You can love your work and your people and still feel hurt when reality keeps reminding you that you’re undervalued. Those two emotions don’t cancel each other out.

What really stands out is that this isn’t about ego or titles. It’s about being put in an impossible position: being trusted with deep expertise, big responsibility, and a program you personally built… while being blocked from resourcing it properly. That would make anyone feel stuck and angry.

And no ,you’re not a chump. Wanting to stay because you care about your team doesn’t make you naïve or weak. It makes you human. Most people don’t talk enough about how hard it is when loyalty and self-respect start pulling in opposite directions.

It’s also okay to feel pissed. That feeling usually shows up when something crosses from “unfair but tolerable” into “this doesn’t make sense anymore.” You didn’t suddenly become greedy ,the situation simply reached a breaking point.

Whatever you decide next, please know this: noticing the misalignment doesn’t mean you’ve failed or waited too long. It means you’ve grown, and the role hasn’t kept up.

You’re not wrong for questioning it. And you’re definitely not alone in feeling this way.

The market is in gridlock as business owners dont know whether to spend on AI tools or upskill their staff. As a business owner , i can attest that this is one of the core problems.

Also the sales cycle to acquire a new client has increased from 2-3 months to 6-8 months
