I don't think engineering time is up. People who have skills will be in demand no matter how much AI advances. Redundant roles which can be easily automated are reduced not the pure technicals once.

It's understandable to feel nostalgic about the past, but the tech industry is dynamic, adapting to evolving trends and challenges. While concerns are valid, there's also room for positive change and innovation. It's essential for companies to strike a balance between efficiency and employee well-being to foster a sustainable and thriving software engineering ecosystem.

Era of pampering is probably over.

time to move to where real money is. aka finance. am i right?

@Noice all the points mentioned in the post are applicable for finance too these days. It's just shit economic conditions everywhere and as always the working class is facing all the repercussions.

I'd wait for a year or so to give my opinion on this.

Yup time to move to atoms world. Make everything smart.
From cooking machines to cars to homes, to factory machines.

Golden era of engineering entitlement and inflated benefits is over, Not Software Engineering.
Humble, learned, skilled software engineers were always treated as first class citizens and would be in the future as well.
Chaff is going away.

I am not kidding, there is a lot of scope for electricians, plumber, civil contractors, interior designer, carpenter.
It's not too late. Divert your focus to build skills for these roles.

Please you do that , while i take home 50lpa as 3yoe.

You forgot Uber driver making more than his passenger

Might seems so but as we have seen in the past when machines and computers came up, people said human jobs will be gone but here we are. I think just like the past, humans will pivot to something niche or some new industry all together.
Think about it, if company lays off people they don’t earn, if they don’t earn how will they spend, if they don’t spend how will companies generate revenue, if there is no revenue then how will a company operate.
You have to see things at a macro level. If you remove the human from the supply chain then what is the supply chain for? All this infra, tech and other stuff is built by humans and for human comfort. How can humans not be a part of it?
Just my 2 cents
