Did the tech companies cross a line?
Hello guys,
I was working as an AI engineer at a marketing agency and resigned about 3 months back without an offer and I have been unemployed since, I worked there for an year and before that at an Fintech AI startup for about 6 months after my graduation , the corporate scene is so bad these days , none of the companies have any kind of work life balance and they treat you and expect you to be their slaves while also paying you peanuts. My mental and physical health have improved a lot since then and My relationship with everyone else in my life have also improved a lot , I just started applying to jobs again even though I do not want to , I feel like all that hassle is not worth it , Now my problem is just with corporates , I have been working on personal projects , participating in hackathons these 3 months and I have learnt way more by doing this than by doing those shitty useless corporate projects.
I feel like indian corporates have crossed a line and more and more GEN Z are looking to start their own businesses , I'm one of them too.
I have started applying to jobs again and I almost completely forgot how to code without AI , and I attended some interviews , Most of them did not ask me anything related to coding and i actually did well in those interviews , But there was this one interview where I was asked to code , and I refused saying I cannot code without AI.
I Def believe coding is an obsolete skill since most of the stuff can be handled by claude and I do not want to spend time re learning an obsolete thing
