if you work in IT, you really need to think about what kind of job you’ll do in the next couple years.
edit: just to clarify, you won’t be looking for a job because AI took it. you’ll be looking for a job because AI crashed the economy and took the tech sector with it.
personally I’ll probably go into some form of product design or manufacturing.
what that will look like is still entirely dependent on what actually happens.
I have always enjoyed designing and building furniture or room fillers. since that’s a luxury good it’s hard to say if there will even be a market for it.

my little piece has already gone to shit. incoming revenue is under half what it usually is at this point in the year.
I worked tech support for 13 years before finally burning out in 2018. So glad I am NOT in tech right now!
Out of curiosity, what field did you switch to?
I work as a security guard in my city’s municipal convention center. City government job. The insurance is good, so this is my retirement gig.

Self employed in IT, nope, I will be fine.
what happens to jobs when an economy dependent on technology is no longer sustainable and bursts?
best of luck to you though.
