An Insight on the future of Job market

All major companies have started shifting to a diamond shaped structure and pivoting from pyramid based structures. Earlier hiring for graduates were high and as the level of experience went up number of recruitments went less. Now they follow a diamond based structure Not hiring in great numbers at top and bottom Only middle people with experience are being taken in coz they need that due to directing how AI gets used.

I know a friend who has been asked to create agentic tools that will literally in next year kill almost 50-65 percent of his company's entry level job requirement.

I guess its fair to say market will only get worse from now on. This is a bad reality to comprehend

Starting new job on Monday after 7 months of unemployment!

Are we still doing these? If so here are my stats. I left my toxic job in March of this year (berating weekly emails from my boss' boss), had only been there 10 mo, direct boss didn't even know what one of my assignments entailed, no training, awful coworkers. I got a job that pays the same (but at the top of the salary band so no room for more) but lower title. I'm still applying for better jobs, but I just ran out of my emergency fund so very grateful. I'm in a somewhat niche field so numbers are low. Hang in there, it's rough.

6 months minimum to find a job

The labor market is entering a strange phase

companies can grow revenue & productivity while needing fewer people to do the work

the next hire might not be human (ai colleague)

a ceo bot

a marketing bot

a sales bot

a developer bot

a customer support bot

This is exactly the direction Grok Bot is taking: create AI teammates, give them real jobs & let them work autonomously 24/7

The company of the future might have 10 humans managing 100 AI workers

The competitive advantage will belong to the people who learn how to manage them
