Few understand this issue in tech

Not just tech but consulting too, had heard from a friend that certain AT Kearney consultants who were let go 10 months ago have still not been able to land a role. (3-4 years experience in the firm post MBA from Tier 1 institutes)
That's probably because consulting as a domain isn't doing good atm. You don't hear too much about layoffs but tons of people are on pip
Yep yep totally true for consulting as well
It’s the opposite when you’re a lawyer or a doctor. Age makes you better

Most non-salaried roles or professionals - doctors, lawyers, architects, independent consultants etc
I don’t about the kind of consultants we are talking but doctors & lawyers usually have a team to support them, especially doctors (again a pyramid).

This is typical of this account. Always making such stupid tweets which sound good at first glance but are monumentally stupid.
What he says happens only if its a zero sum or negative sum situation. You do not have enough tech companies emerging or growing who need the scaling expertise, then yes, no one will hire these experienced folks. Nothing to do with a pyramid structure, everything to do with simple lack of viable alternatives.
Moreover in times of growing economy and free money, you tend to see many ICs and part time CTOs as more companies need their skills. In essence, the tweet tries to sound smart but is dumb.

True. There are simply fewer people fit for senior roles, plus few senior roles to go around. It would naturally be more difficult to find the right match, especially considering how many companies and industries also went redundant or are trending towards it.
He has openly said he is engagement farming. I don't know why that guy or the person who quoted that tweet are even taken seriously at all.
Happens for jobs in other industries, nothing new or alarming about it.
