It’s not fear mongering at all. People get randomly laid off all the time and you can’t be sure you’ll be able to find an equally good job.

It has been true since a long TIME. Since 2018.

The "Period" in the end is a 2025 development.

2000s was where these jobs were creating middle class. Post 2015: It was just a low end job. Post 2022: it became a sweatshop job. Post 2030, it will pay less than delivery worker (no offence to either)

Middle class jobs are where there is career trajectory. Where you have the odds of rising up in the corporate ladder, increasing responsibility, with people under you, and increasing income.

It jobs lost all that long back.

Which sweatshop job pays in range of 50 LPA tell me I want to quit my job.

It has become more common now to get out of TCS and join fang or equivalent. In fact there was a time when these high paying jobs were only going to tier 1 colleges. If you join TCS and even if you don't switch but have good mindset and skills 12 LPA is very near within couple of years.

I use GitHub copilot on a daily basis and trust me there’s only a few years left for an average software developer. Try to improve your skills and keep on learning new tech.

The upper circuit PPL: Highly talented
The middleware: Talented but takes no risk The lower skilled: Zero risk PPL but takes total load

But you cannot ignore the lower skilled if they are collapsible due to their low adaptability as you said, the other two classes will also be having tough time

Isn't that more of a bank problem. Because this won't be 1 or 2 cases. It would be an industry level issue. IT industry is the sector to whom the majority of personal loans and credit cards are issued..

This is fear mongering. There is no base to the article. Let me share an AI summary below:

The article highlights the disruptive impact of AI on India's IT sector and middle-class livelihoods. Companies like Infosys have started laying off employees as AI tools become more efficient and cost-effective, replacing both entry-level and mid-level jobs. This shift threatens the traditional outsourcing model of Indian IT firms, as global companies increasingly adopt AI in-house. While short-term opportunities in AI integration exist, they are lower-paying and offer limited growth. The stagnation in starting salaries for computer science graduates and declining prospects in IT and finance signal a crisis for India's middle class, which has long relied on these sectors for upward mobility. The broader implications include economic pressures leading to delayed marriages, fewer children, prolonged dependence on parental homes, and mental health challenges among young professionals. Parents are urged to rethink pushing children into traditional career paths like IT or finance unless they show exceptional aptitude. Instead, future professionals must adapt by mastering AI tools and embracing multi-functional roles. As aspirations for consumerist lifestyles wane, the middle class may need to pivot toward simpler, more sustainable ways of living, finding fulfillment in relationships and personal growth rather than material success.

Everyone has their own handcrafted solution, but nobody shares. And articles like this have no page to kindle solutions they only prey on fear of reader

In 3.5-5 years most of the job will be gone but not to IT. It will go to SEA like Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam etc.
