Right now, QA (Quality Assurance; helps test code by writing unit tests) is paid and valued fairly poorly among tech careers. For instance, a QA Engineer can expect to rake in $40-50k a year, in contrast to a software engineer / developer who can expect to rake in over $100k, or IT engineers or data analysts who can expect to earn between $60-100k.

However, will the emergence of AI change this? All those AI agents need someone to validate them, especially if they were designed with copious amounts of vibe-coding.

Moreover, the prospect of well-earning salaries for SWEs, or even "SWEs with extra bells and whistles" like data and MLE engineers, is quickly dampening thanks to AI; internships are generally a toxically competitive million-round mosh-pit where even candidates who score perfectly on the OAs fail (just look at the ones like C1, JPMC, and Roblox which have recently come out), and full-time roles can have a gorillion rounds and be even more of a bloodbath (especially for candidates lacking prior internship experience).

It's undeniable and almost inevitable that the skill and field are losing some luster in an age when any common, uncredentialed Joe can pull up Claude Sonnet 4 / Gemini 2.0 Pro / ChatGPT-5, and vibecode whatever app his likes (even more so if paying for the subscription tiers of each). Could this where the once-maligned QA specialization rises in prominence?

(Other tech or tech-adjacent roles that I foresee possibly rising in prominence: cybersecurity; electrical engineering; semiconductors. I also predict an attempt at labor activism / unionization that will ultimately fail due to outsourcing, opposition to which would severely be at odds with woke leftism - the same reason labor activism/unionization failed in the construction industry in the South and SW.)
