Is Information Technology in the DOD still a viable career move?
I'm an SWE for a private company and my work is not currently affected by AI but I'm seeing a trend.
I work on consulting and we have just gone out of projects. Granted there's some stuck in the pipeline, but it's becoming a trend that this has become the second time we've ran out of projects to do in the last 12 months. The first few years I was here, we were working desperately to overcome the backlog and this past year, it's become apparent that AI is accelerating everything so fast that it only makes sense for the company to eventually let some of us go.
For anybody on dod working in the IT field, are you seeing the same trend and would it be too late for me to pivot?
