Can someone explain wtf is going is going on in the dev job market?
>massive layoffs
>RTO
>expectation of 12+ hour days
>no entry level jobs
But at the same time
>massive h1b hiring
>massive profits

Is this whole industry just shot? Or is it going to get better in 5 years because zoomers don't know how to code due to relying on LLMs? Am I fucked trying to get a job as a retarded faggot that fell for the "learn 2 code" meme?

People voted wrong so it's time for corporations to punish the workers for doing so.
Essentially the overhiring and general lack of heavy work was only permitted to exist because the economy was set up in such a way that stocks was basically guaranteed to go up from the excessive amount of funny money flowing around regardless of actual gains.
Now that there is a shock to the system with stocks taking a hit from tarriffs and the funny money faucet tap shut off, stock gains have to be realized somehow.
Only way that is possible is to cut workers or boost productivity.

Good post I don't think people realize how susceptible C level people are to chasing trends. They are seriously desperate for status and peer approval, groupthink is EXTREMELY common among these types.

The fact that all of Western society seems to be structured around stock valuations above all else is a catastrophic societal failure on every level. This system is straight up run at the expense of the many for the benefit if the few, and they don't even try to hide it.

>eliminate all useless-fuck position
>pay severance if needed
>just get them off your payroll
>everyone does the same as you
>refuse to hire anyone recently laid off because obviously the reason they just got laid off at another company was because they had a useless-fuck position
>refuse to hire recent graduates because you know most of them are useless fucks

Pretty much
Anyone who works at a corporate job has that ingrained that their jobs only exist as a side effect of stock valuations.
You should have saw the vitriol back when tarriffs was first announced. Many people where angry that voters was "punishing" the winners because they had a good job but they know that job only exists because of how good the company's stock was doing.
Mind you these same people acted on outsourcing because it would increase margins.

Many so called "liberals" are fine with literally whatever corruption or corporate interest there is in the government aslong as it keeps company valuations propped up.
Anyone against the asset owner class is basically in obscurity now.
In Nepai right now "liberals" are pissing and shitting themselves that a hotel burned down.
