I guess entry level jobs will be taken over, which already is happening right now. It's really hard to predict what's gonna happen in 5 years given the rate at which AI is growing.

Software Developer

In 1-2 years, you will begin to see poor placement in CS department across the country.... Barring top 200-300 toppers from old IITS, Pilani & few NITS.  
  
 In 3-4  years, most of people in India having very high salaries will lose jobs if they refuse to take pay cuts. There is nothing that will be able to justify their high salaries . 
  
 In 5 years, I don't see any work from home type highly paid jobs which won't be replaced by AI. And I am serious about it.

So what are your suggestions regarding switching to AI/ML or data engineering?

Hi everyone!!
I saw this video recently on YouTube by varun

I wanna know from people around here ,how much AI take over will happen in next 5 years in software development? 

Should we start switching career to AI/ML OR software development will be there in next 5 years??

Software Engineering in next 5 years

Software Engineering in next 5 years- Grapevine

It's a every day news that software companies are adapting A.I. I have a doubt around that. As a developer everyone is aware of 2 or more programming languages and as we work we gain domain skills along with software development tools, devops, qa etc. I wanted to understand how AI is finding its place in software companies I mean  in what part of our daily work will AI comes in. if anyone has an example and explain that would be great. also as a Software developer how should I being AI learnings.

Career upskilling doubt

Can Ai take product jobs? Been planning to switch to either PRODUCT or DATA SCIENCE roles in 5/6 months, but kinda skeptical as what path I should go ahead with. Also with the AI advancing everyday and some tech bros taking about AI taking jobs makes me wanna wonder about the path I should go ahead with.Any recommendations will help, thanks. Currently am a java developer with 1.4 YOE and kinda find it boring (maybe its the project)

AI COMING FOR PRODUCT JOBS?

So, me and my good friend were casually discussing how crazy the job market is and how we are unable to get into a good job, especially when she has over 3YoE and is really good at frontend web development.

She then casually asked me "Should we be really trying this hard to get into a job that we like, as I feel that AI will take over a big part of the IT workforce in the next 5 years?"

Though we did have a friendly argument, I strongly believe that it still needs more time than that bcz IT jobs, especially we developers, are not just limited to coding. And given the fact that OpenAI is learning off of GitHub repos, which are basically code examples are averagely written code, not well written proficient ones. 

But, in General, what do you think about AI and how it is gradually dominating the IT sector ?

Do you really think AI will take over in the next 5 years ?

How important it is to upgrade technical skills for a mid level engineers with 5-8 yoe keeping in mind the AI is on rise. 
3 options: 
1. It’s important to include AI in your skills.
2. No, it won’t impact that much and will fade with time.
3. Better to start slowly with AI and have secondary skills.

Future of Mid Level Engineers with AI in scope

Hey everyone, I am just trying to understand the market right now..I have 7.5 years of experience and have been a senior consultant for a year or 2 now. Worked on RPA and other intelligent automation with career start as a Java associate developer. I have an in hand of 17lpa. What can I expect if I switch. I have been slowly moving towards ML and Gen AI. As I don't feel RPA will be there in some years. As gen ai is gonna take over everything. What do you guys suggest? Is it right time to switch?

RPA Developer

A lot of noise around AI taking coding jobs, which i fear might be real. Like not completely but you get my point. So how should one upskill themselves (especially the average folks, top 1/2% will not be affected in any field imo) for the upcoming shift? Like will data analytics/science or maybe ai/ml engineering jobs be on rise ? Should be start upskilling in those fields or any other suggestions? I would really like to know it from someone who has good experience in the industry or someone with good insight. Thanks

Jobs which will be created /not impacted by AI

AI Engineers vs Software Devs

Hi I am 2024 passout CSE B.tech and I am unplaced, I am planning to take course in Hyd or Bangalore but confused to select which tech stack to learn.

Please suggest me which course to take and get job immediately which is trending in 2024 and 2025

Ai/ML or Web development?

I have seen LLM models getting better day by day and seem to replace a lot of tedious roles that interns would do. How will this change the job market over time? Should people start learning coding to stay relevant in today's times? How will this pan out in 10 years?

Will AI increase more unemployed?

Consultant

2022 graduate here, working as a software engineer.
I feel that software engineering has less to do big in future compared to Ai/ML. Need your thoughts on what are my possibilities and pros cons on choosing different paths.

1. Stick to software engineer, will get promoted in some time and i can utilise some skills developed during this year and past internship. 

For next two paths, i will need to study as I don't know much about Ai/ML. Please suggest resources and way if you thing these could be good.

2. Switch teams in Google to some Ai/ML team.

3. Switch firm to some startup on Ai and can learn more things there. If this, then are companies out there how can will consider my this experience, i would want more pay than what i am earning as of now.


Happy to read all the comments and your pov.

Software Engineer or Ai ML

Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

I am an Android application developer with 10 years of experience.

I am currently serving as a Senior Team Lead in a company.

I am hearing a lot about AI nowadays. As this wave is just started and could be expected to grow for the next 10-15 years.

Is it a good decision to learn it?


(I am good at coding and can learn maths too....)

Career switch

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

Curious to learn about what sectors will see more action in the run up to 2030 where we are slated to become a $5trn economy and lots of companies have done Capex investments across sectors. What specific sectors, companies (listed or startups ) will benefit. Collective logic and name taking might help us all

5 trn economy, which sectors will benefit in startups and stock markets

Growth Manager

Here's my rationale on all of it.

There’s a lot of buzz about “AI developers” in the tech world. Headlines shout that the days of human coders are numbered—a tantalizing, but dubious claim. 

Startups like Magic.dev are raising hefty sums to create "superhuman software engineers." Their mission? To outperform and possibly replace human coders. Then there's Cognition Labs' "Devin," which raised $21M and claims to be an AI capable of doing real software engineering. These companies are cashing in on fears and ambitions.

One narrative is that tools like Devin will soon replace entry-level developers. 

Devin’s current track record shows it solves about 13.86% of issues on GitHub unassisted. While that’s leagues better than previous models, remember, a competent junior developer would do much more.

We shouldn’t be fooled by flashy headlines or orchestrated media frenzies. Devin is, for now, an advanced coding assistant, not a replacement for the nuanced, context-rich work that seasoned engineers provide.

Consider the landscape. Microsoft’s GitHub Copilot has already dominated the coding assistant niche for over two years, with 1.3 million paying subscribers. Pricing at $20/month makes it a tough act to follow, especially given the computational costs tied to maintaining high-performance AI models. 

Companies like Sourcegraph and Replit are also deeply embedded with their respective AI tools, Cody and Replit AI. The remaining space is limited, pushing new startups to make audacious claims to carve out a territory.

The startup game is about getting noticed. Cognition AI achieved near viral attention, taking a page from ChatGPT’s playbook. Their video showcases are strategic, designed to create buzz. But strong media presence doesn’t guarantee a product that delivers on lofty promises.

The seductive idea that advances in software will eliminate the need for human engineers isn't new.

In 1959, COBOL aimed to empower business people to write their own programs. Instead of reducing the need for developers, it created a demand for COBOL specialists. The cycle repeats. Each new tool or language claims to reduce the need for knowledge workers, but instead, it shifts the nature of the work, often requiring even more specialized skills.

AI, especially large language models, remains highly effective within certain constraints. They can automate routine tasks and provide coding assistance, but they are fundamentally "probability machines," making educated guesses. Hallucinations, errors, and a lack of deep contextual understanding limit their utility.

Five years from now, developer tools will undoubtedly be more powerful. But the idea that AI will fully replace human engineers is a perpetual myth. Instead, AI will continue to serve as an extension of human capability—better, smarter tools, but not standalone replacements.

In our era, it’s crucial to discern between hype and reality. Don’t get blinded by flashy demos and bold claims. Look for sustainable, incremental improvements that make you a more efficient, capable engineer.

Is the “AI Developer” a Genuine Threat to Jobs?

Program Manager

I know this is quite a sensitive topic but I'd rather face the truth.

A couple of months ago, I was less worried, but now looking at the pace of development in IDEs and tools to help with software development, coding has been made much much simpler. 

Do you really think AI will take away jobs?

Will AI take away coding jobs?

Nowadays, everyone is saying that AI will replace engineers, and it could be the reason for layoffs. This situation is making me more tense, especially as I'm primarily a frontend engineer (currently learning backend). If this is true, what should I do? Please guide me.

AI will replace Programmers/Engineer ?

Hi,
I am an Android application developer with 10+ years experience and currently serving as a Senior Team Lead in a company.

There are already a huge number of developers in mobile application development.

To stay in job, I was thinking of making career shift to AI or ML by doing trainings into it.

Is this thought process good?
