Look around. Tech companies have been laying off thousands of employees every month. Everything from IT to Software is extremely oversaturated. Pajeets and bootcampers have flooded this even further, driving down wages. Add recession fuckery and insane hiring practices. The field is not what it was in 2013.

A fact, sure, but let's make sure to get the full context.
Tech companies are laying off "thousands" but stil winding up larger than they were 2-3 years ago. It's a trimming of extremely overzealous 2022 hiring, but it's not like Microsoft just went bankrupt or something. The sheer size of these organizations is tough for humans to grok I guess.

If by bubble popped, we mean that the top blew off and some layoffs happened? absolutely.

Since I graduated in 2016, all of my friends from college have had a gig and I can't get them to budge for 200k/year interviews. That's still true, aside from 1 guy that went math -> bootcamp and has some psychological issues. He's looking for a new role now.

Interviewing now is definitely shit this year compared to 2022

If I were to brainstorm new careers....I just don't know. Almost everything that doesn't involve being connected seems shit. (connected roles are like MBB consulting)
My therapist switched from QA -> therapy with a 2 year online masters and now charges ~$120/hr, billable to insurance so half the year I only pay $5 (artificial demand on the wage). He at least doesn't deal with any pajeets or chinks. He just runs a practice with his waifu.

As someone in the medical field. Stay away. It's hard fucking work (not manual labor hard but still, you bust ass the entire shift). Legitimately the only reason to do it is if you want to positively contribute to society. Money is ok, but there are much easier, comfier, WFH jobs that pay just as much if not more.

Sales but u need to get good and serious at it as you did in tech and it's not replaceable

Lawyer you can use bureaucracy to get hedge against AI (at this point you can even enter with a casio watch to court)

Trades, AI robot could replace them but they will be x1000 more expensive than humans for the next 50 years

there's probably more but these 2 are the safest

Yeah, keep telling yourself that, defeatist cuck. /biz/ has been saying this for years. Meanwhile, I got a dev job and am now up from $16k annual minimum wage tier income in 2018 to $135.1k total comp, now (my last raise being last month at +9.68% base, which brought me up from $123.2k to $135.1k).
