Soo what's the next big thing.

Sincerely speaking, job posts have significantly decreased, unless it's only me noticing it.

If it's just about reducing cost, then, remote work gigs should have continued to spike, but I don't think that's the case.

Personally, I don't think it's AI yet, It could be, but I can't see that.

It could also be due to reduced VC funding.
Or maybe Jobs aren't posted publicly again
Or something else

Corporations and the government are investing billions of dollars in AI . AI Jobs are now highest paid in programming and the competition is growing daily . The potential of AI in transforming industries, improving efficiency and delivering personalized experiences has captured the attention of businesses globally. From tech giants like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft to traditional industries like healthcare, finance, and manufacturing, products/services companies across various sectors are investing significant resources into AI technology. If you noticed you will know that researchers are improving findings in different fields.

You don't know anything about the tech industry job market & that comment you made is pure fallacy. Not only are you a rookie, but you are also ignorant and proud about it..

People are losing their jobs in the numbers, Principal & Staff engineers in top companies are losing their jobs not because they are incompetent but because the share holders are trying to reduce the number of staff head count. They are randomly selecting teams that are working on projects that they think might not be important to overall company's profit margin. I have mentors that are in job market now with 15 years experience laid off, and are looking for jobs.

The cloudfare lady got fired not because of incompetence, she was hired during the festive periods, as a sales person you cannot close deals during this period because companies reach the end of their budget in December. The new financial year starts in January or February for most companies. Cloudfare did not even give her any reason for laying her off because they have no reason.

Andela as a company has lost most of their gigs, companies in the US are moving away from remote work in Africa. A lot of experienced devs left with no jobs. Other agencies like Toptal are experiencing decline too.

So trust me, you don't know 1% of what you're saying at all.

All this write-up are emotionally driven, I'm not saying people aren't being fired, I'm saying there is still a hunt for good developers/programmers by companies, those big tech companies can afford to let go of thousands because of the economy but not other businesses like banks, small-online shops etc.

One more thing, I'm not out to prove to someone there are jobs when they could just open the several online job boards and see them, this will be my last comment to you all so do relax with your fear mongering.

More like fact driven. There are still jobs though, just that recruitment is going to be hell, however I think people stand more chances on their own, but that's another tough road not for everyone.

Stop spreading mis-information bro, this was what you said below & I quote:

You used the word: overpaid, under delivering, not programmers, she didn't meet quota.

Davidcorny:
If you know the hunt for programmers by companies you'll know those laid off were either because they were being overpaid and under delivering or not programmers.

Take the lady that was laid off and went viral for recording it, she was a "tech worker" in sales department of cloudflare, they had hired her 2 months ago to make sales, she didn't meet quota and got laid off.


Bottom line is that you don't know what you are saying.

Exactly here in Malta there are jobs.......................BUT if they sack you, you have 10 DAYS to leave the country, so it's better to be a nomad.

You can use any free resource to learn the syntax and semantics of Java. To build projects, you can do two things:

1. Get a work through video and hardcode it, then build something similar with that intuition

2. Go through GitHub and look for promising projects, use documentation to read and understand the code, then try to build something similar (not exactly). You'll meet bugs, but it will solidify your basics

3. Use the two skills learnt above to build something entirely from your intuition. A replica of an app, website, API etc. More bugs here, but better results

What that guy wrote is a blanket statement. It's similar to saying there are jobs in Nigeria. Davidcorny is living in the past and he's nor in touch with the present state of things. 5 years ago this company will struggle to get interns to fill their slot but now look at the number of applicants in just one week. Even if you're a good programmer you will struggle to get interviews because of the large number of applications.

It's tough even in the US. The good thing is the return to site policy & closing remote operations have open up more opportunities. Many companies are pushing for hybrid/in-person and so those with multiple jobs are resigning and opening up the space for others. A company just closed it's remote operations in the Philippines and that gave rise to job openings in the US. Remote jobs will be very difficult unlike during the pandemic.

I was referring to tosinhtml statement as fact driven. Guy the tech industry is tough, even me outside of Nigeria is facing constant rejection. Never seen anything like this. I'm just holding on to freelance

One of the major reasons for the mass layoffs of last year was due to mass employment rate due to the pandemic that made people very reliant on tech due to the lock down

It is alarming that OpenAI is shifting its focus towards developing software that can operate devices and automate tasks. This move signifies a shift in the AI battleground, indicating that OpenAI is directing its efforts towards creating practical applications for artificial intelligence.

This change in strategy suggests that OpenAI aims to move beyond just developing powerful AI models and instead focus on deploying AI in real-world scenarios. By developing software that can operate devices and automate tasks, OpenAI aims to create AI-powered systems that can assist in various domains, such as healthcare, manufacturing, and more.

This move aligns with OpenAI's mission to ensure that artificial general intelligence (AGI) benefits all of humanity. By building practical AI software, OpenAI can make AI more accessible and useful to a wider range of industries and individuals.

OpenAI's shift towards developing software for operating devices and automating tasks reflects its desire to bring AI out of the research and development phase and into practical use, thereby expanding the impact of AI in everyday life.

I think the huge numbers seen here is because it's an internship job, many newbies are currently trying to get into tech. I just checked Home Depot tech jobs in Atlanta GA now & most of their jobs created 1 Week ago are not up to 100 applications.
