I don't see LLMs as the thing removing people. It will take a good 5-10 years for LLMs to be fully integrated everywhere- from code that makes simple decisions, to code that performs more complex crap. The only thing LLMs will do for the first 5 years is cause more hiring IMO.<p>No, I think what we're seeing is everyone hired by DEI (the DEI directors themselves, as well as a variety of servicy, accounty, publicisty, supporty roles - that were basically hired during the COVID boom (huge piles of money injected via quantitative easing).<p>Now that QE is over, loans are hard to get, companies have to have profit or very close to profit - to justify anything "fluffy". So its a doubling down on tech roles, but ease off on almost all soft roles.
