00:45Why IT Jobs Are Getting Disrupted
00:48The world admired the tech industry for its job security, high salaries, and endless growth.
00:54But starting 2022, the winds shifted.
00:58There are many reasons for this disruption, but we will look at some of major ones below.
01:04Number 1
01:04Global layoffs and hiring freezes companies like Google, Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft
01:10have laid off hundreds of thousands of employees globally.
01:14Reasons
01:15Overhiring during pandemic growth booms
01:19Market corrections as revenue projections failed.
01:23Shifting focus from employee-intensive models to leaner, AI-powered operations.
01:30Number 2
01:30The AI Revolution
01:32AI tools like ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, and advanced automated testing suites
01:39are transforming coding, documentation, and customer support.
01:43Tasks that once needed 10 engineers can now be partially handled by 2 to 3 engineers with AI assistance.
01:51This doesn't mean AI has taken over, but it has reduced the need for redundant, repetitive human work in IT.
01:58Number 3
02:01Outsourcing and cost efficiency
02:03Many Western firms continue to outsource to cheaper markets.
02:07But now, even within India and Asia, companies are offloading routine tasks to freelancers or contract workers
02:14to avoid long-term liabilities like PF, insurance, and severance costs.
02:19Number 4
02:20Shifting tech stacks
02:21New frameworks and technologies emerge faster than employees can upskill.
02:27Example
02:28A talent net developer who didn't learn cloud-based microservices remains stuck in legacy support roles with shrinking demand.
02:38Number 5
02:38The Economic Downturn
02:40High interest rates, inflation, and reduced venture capital have forced startups to prioritize profit over scale,
02:49leading to mass layoffs in tech-focused startups and product companies.
02:54Who is most at risk?
02:56If you're wondering, will I be next?
02:59Here are the high-risk categories today.
03:02Mid-level employees, 5 to 10 years with stagnant skill sets.
03:06Fresh graduates without strong coding, cloud, or AI fundamentals.
03:12Manual testers not upgrading to automation and DevOps.
03:16Support engineers working on legacy systems without cross-training.
03:21Employees avoiding upskilling in emerging fields like AI, cybersecurity, cloud, and data analytics.
03:29So, how to survive and thrive?
03:31Practical solutions.
03:33Here's the truth.
