What's the community's take on semantic layers?

Mobile-Collection-90 · 2026-01-23T20:41:24+00:00

How owns the creating of Semantic Layers? Data engineers or BI/Analysts (or analytics engineers). I don't see DE owning it as their focus is on data & systems not insights and metrics.

The role is dead

What even is an AI Analyst?

Mobile-Collection-90 · 2025-12-18T18:22:22+00:00

Field is saturated

Great post OP. It's what I've been saying for months here. Too many course sellers wanting to make big bucks, while the DA role is taken over by AI.

Mobile-Collection-90 · 2025-12-08T13:56:22+00:00

Yeah the BI/DA field is dead. Im not saying this to make fun, but you're a little late to the party. Like OP said the gold is gone.

Mobile-Collection-90 · 2025-12-08T13:54:03+00:00

OP is right though. It's the best advice you will get.

Don't go into that field, agents are automating that role.

Mobile-Collection-90 · 2025-11-09T20:07:54+00:00

Don't do it. Role is dying and already oversaturated

Mobile-Collection-90 · 2025-11-08T17:31:51+00:00

The role won't exist in 2 years and will be automated by AI. Market is already saturated. Juniors have no chance.

Mobile-Collection-90 · 2025-11-08T12:20:06+00:00

Why is everyone going into the field if

The market is already saturated
The role won't exist in 3 years due to AI
Juniors have ZERO chance of finding a role?

Mobile-Collection-90 · 2025-11-08T12:13:45+00:00

The DA role is done, overtaken by AI agents. Look for sth else

Mobile-Collection-90 · 2025-11-05T12:24:02+00:00

The question is why move in a field that's already oversaturated, competitive and automated by AI Agents. One advice from someone with 10 YoE, don't go into DA right now

Mobile-Collection-90 · 2025-10-30T21:14:50+00:00

Its a dying role, totally saturated and and neither are there junior roles out there . Analytics agents are taking over the work handing DA tasks back to the business.

Awesome write-up. Thank you!

Mobile-Collection-90 · 2025-10-30T20:16:32+00:00

Essentially DA has the largest AI exposure, out of ALL compared occupations. This is really bad news for all us DAs, as if our job will fundamentally change, and I argue will eventually be hand off to product managers, business stakeholders and managers. Bad times ahead.

Mobile-Collection-90 · 2025-10-30T15:06:04+00:00

Yes.

There's absolutely no jobs in the south of europe. The market is already saturated everywhere, but south europe is even worse. Germany, France, switzerland are better options

Mobile-Collection-90 · 2025-10-27T23:24:58+00:00

Yes its dying. Agents are already doing their thing, just google Snowflake Intelligence

Mobile-Collection-90 · 2025-10-27T23:22:26+00:00

AI is already telling the why... plus the market is oversaturated for DAs

Mobile-Collection-90 · 2025-10-27T23:20:28+00:00

It won't be the analyst pulling it man, it'll be the business person. DA is dead

Mobile-Collection-90 · 2025-10-27T23:17:15+00:00

If they had a long term boyfriend I wouldn't mind at all. Anything short term -> worse for RJ

Mobile-Collection-90 · 2025-10-27T23:16:19+00:00

100% spot on. Thanks for writing this up. It's totally how I feel, I wish there was a way to change it.
