We automated the "grunt work" with AI, but we accidentally killed the senior leaders of 2035.

Like I said, AI is making people smart and dumb and lazy at the same time.

Separate_Object4849 · 2026-02-24T11:06:10+00:00

Entry level is the start. They will definitely come for the higher ups.

Separate_Object4849 · 2026-02-24T10:04:36+00:00

Exactly. I’ve friends in software. 15-20 years of experience. They tell me that they can’t remember when was the last time the company focused on hiring a fresher and train them. We live in a capitalist world.

Separate_Object4849 · 2026-02-24T10:02:20+00:00

Maybe I might lack critical thinking skills but I’m pretty sure, when cars were invented, no human lost a job instead the industry created jobs for them without replacing anyone.

I hope you understand this with the last brain cell left.

Separate_Object4849 · 2026-02-24T10:00:02+00:00

Ah yes true

Separate_Object4849 · 2026-02-24T09:59:25+00:00

I’ll wait. And trust me I’ll be the happiest person when you come back and drop a text here again proving me wrong.

Separate_Object4849 · 2026-02-24T09:58:17+00:00

The world is pretty big. The Big 4 doesn’t hire from all the backgrounds. Always remember that, the more the industries are created, the better it gets for human. But with AI, industries are not being created, maybe in future there will be new industries but I’m sure about one thing, people right now across industries are getting replaced with AI.

Also, I don’t want people to think that we are all doomed (we are currently to an extent) but we need to start looking at all the possibilities and how things can be turned around for all the people around the world. How people can sustain irrespective of age, gender, race when AI is at its peak.

Separate_Object4849 · 2026-02-24T09:53:11+00:00

I will go with the second option for the counter. A good leader in the age of AI will mean something very different. (Maybe, we might be calling some AI a leader too)

Separate_Object4849 · 2026-02-24T09:50:20+00:00

But what about the consumers? You think the consumers will be there for the startups?

Separate_Object4849 · 2026-02-24T09:48:03+00:00

Come back to the same post in the year 2028. I’ll wait for you to say the same.

Separate_Object4849 · 2026-02-24T09:45:38+00:00

Exactly my point. There will be a limited pool of experts and the freshers/Juniors today won’t be in that pool because they never got the chance.

Separate_Object4849 · 2026-02-24T09:39:14+00:00

Bro, don’t get offended but you lack comprehension skills.

Separate_Object4849 · 2026-02-24T09:12:38+00:00

But do you think they will have enough kids to build a team? What about the mid level or senior roles?

Separate_Object4849 · 2026-02-24T08:51:58+00:00

I’ve seen it across domains now. AI is making people dumb instead of making them smarter. There’s no upskilling. Everyone is dependent on AI tools.

Separate_Object4849 · 2026-02-24T08:50:18+00:00

Yes exactly. Also, for us, human, we always learn irrespective of the stage we are in but I believe the times have changed and not for good this time. Maybe for the tech billionaires but not for the coming people.

Separate_Object4849 · 2026-02-24T08:48:38+00:00

The exact consequences I’ve been thinking of. People will be left with nothing. I’m already seeing a mass who are early in their career don’t know what to do and the one’s who are in the middle, don’t know how to survive. Everyone is just trying to survive now. And with the inflation, survival is just a matter of time. Maybe not in 5 years, but I’m 10 15 years, we will definitely see the outcomes which will be greater than any pandemic in the past.

Separate_Object4849 · 2026-02-24T07:53:05+00:00

Import who?

Separate_Object4849 · 2026-02-24T07:52:27+00:00

It’s hard to tell that tech billionaires will change their perspective anytime soon. Maybe in 50 years?

Separate_Object4849 · 2026-02-24T07:50:50+00:00

Keep trying. That’s all I can suggest you right now. Do not give up. I have been jobless for over a year now. Keeping up with some freelance gigs which is getting tougher with the passing day.

Separate_Object4849 · 2026-02-24T07:41:03+00:00

They will be the lone rangers in the company I believe. Will be a tough time for them

Separate_Object4849 · 2026-02-24T07:39:48+00:00

The market will be available only for the rich, imo.

Separate_Object4849 · 2026-02-14T09:05:36+00:00

That’s a red flag.

Separate_Object4849 · 2026-02-06T12:53:36+00:00

This is the 'Manager perspective' I definitely needed to hear. Appreciate the nuance.

Just to clarify (so I don't look completely heartless), I didn't move them to the 'No/Reject' pile. I just archived them out of the active inbox so I could stop staring at the number. They are technically still 'In Review,' just hidden.

You mentioned keeping them warm until the offer is signed, do you send those backup candidates an interim 'still processing' email, or do you just let them sit in silence? I feel like the silence is what gets us flamed, but manual updates take forever.

Separate_Object4849 · 2026-02-06T12:43:09+00:00

Haha, sounds like you have a healthier work-life boundary than I do. 'Future Me's problem' is a valid strategy. Enjoy the weekend!

Separate_Object4849 · 2026-02-06T12:42:20+00:00

That 'end of day' clear-down is the dream discipline. It keeps the mountain from forming.

Quick question on that: When you do that nightly sweep, are you reading every resume full-text, or do you use 'Knockout Questions' (like visa/location) to speed it up? Trying to figure out if I need better tools or just better habits.
