I am experiencing a bit of a whiplash here at work. To be fair, I am getting paid very well (and got a significant raise last year, that was good), but we have had positions be open for years now with no hiring. And we are having more and more projects being proposed without finishing the projects themselves. Its the classic they want to do more with less scenario. The top brass just announced a hiring freeze so new devs for a while.
The execs are floating the idea that AI can be used to replace or supplement the people leaving. On all of our propitiatory code-base/solutions…yeah that will go well.
So yeah anyone else dealing with this?
GL! Thats a hard one.
Ive found my highest paying roles were in traditional workplaces with very specific duties. Startups in my area dont usually do well. But I hear stories of people hitting big. Seems like a very high risk/reward situation.
high risk/(hopefully) reward situation yes. But also probably because I am lazy - or lets say, I dont want to change my private life center because of the job.
It always boils down to many factors and my gut feeling tells me thats the best compromise. Or its the anxiety to push against change. nobody knows.
But thanks. may your life be prosperous. Especially if mine wont. ;)
