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.
Only dumb people who can’t learn and work quickly and adapt to the new technologies will have to feel unsafe. PERIOD. 😝😝
Agree
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
how people still committing for long years of EMI 😭
Never took loan
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.
Ok chatgpt
This comment proves it all about AI.. 😐😑
Planning to move to mechanical engineering
Poor hikes
Wait for alien musk robots and Chinese bots
Did they write in the article which jobs are left to be “safe bet”?
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
