Junior roles down 23%.
Senior roles up 14%.

Harvard tracked 285,000 firms. The math is brutal:

Before AI: 1 senior + 3 juniors = 4 person team
After AI: 1 senior + Claude = same output

We're creating a generation of experts with no apprentices. Masters with no students. Mentors with no one to mentor.

Who trains the next generation when AI does all the junior work?

But here's what made my stomach drop:

It's not layoffs.
It's worse.
They're just... not replacing people who leave.

"Natural attrition" they call it.
"Right-sizing" they say.
What they mean: Your career ladder lost its bottom rungs.

5 years from now, we'll wonder why we have no senior engineers.

at this rate there is going to be an insane level of demand for devs in a few years

Using your graph, one could just as easily say that AI is creating jobs for seniors

It's this, the wheel is turning once again. All these companies are at peak tech hype retardation and outsourcing before the consequences appear in 5-10 years, if anything NOW is a reasonable time to start if you're thinking in that direction and are like 18 considering majors.

been real shit for like five years post covid though lol
>>
>>106509944
Your graph proves it has nothing to do with AI and everything to do with companies not being caught training juniors because they're shit at retention.

>because they're shit at retention
Pay a good salary and do decent raises, schlomo, and they won't be.

So it's safe to assume OP is AI-slop.

>>106510460
>because they're shit at retention
Isn't that mostly due to the "If you want a raise, change your job"-mentality?

nigger, that's exactly the problem

i'll literally work for free just to get my foot in the door, but nooooo that's not allowed, you gotta paaaayyy a good salary for the privilege of training some clueless cunt like me who will just fuck off as soon as they collect their 1-2 years of experience

There is very little to make me feel bad about a sect of the population that glided through life and did everything they where told without question.
Now they are 100k+ in debt and nothing to show for it.

What's funny is you think this demand will ever be met. It's brain drain, it hit the arts 50 years ago. It used to be that every art school turned out excellent draftsmen, and they all had jobs drawing shit. Then computers replaced them in most firms, and eventually replaced animators. Now, the field no longer exists. If you wanted to get an animation made in western country, you couldn't, you had to outsource to Japan in the 90s, Korea in the 00s, China in the 10s, and now India in the 20s. And we're hitting the breaking point of that cheap dogshit labor, after India there's nowhere left to cut the costs.

>>
>>106512103
it becomes a very small or non-existent industry until demand for high quality animation picks up again (possibly never)
>>
>>106512150
No, the world is definitely gonna collapse. It's not anon wishing for a cataclysm to wipe the slate clean because he is a loser.

All jobs except for tradesmen jobs are gonna get fucked, even service jobs like flipping burgers and fries in McDonalds are gonna get done by robots, they in fact already exist. Next decade everyone is fucked unless the entire system changes, not just economical ones, but educational ones too.
