AI Just Canceled Hiring Season

Forget a hiring freeze, AI just put human jobs on ice indefinitely, and even software engineers aren’t safe.

AI isn’t just coming for entry-level jobs, it’s hitting tech roles hard, too. Microsoft just slashed 6,000 jobs, mostly coders and product managers, despite booming software demand. AI now writes or assists 30% of code at giants like Alphabet and Microsoft.

Major firms openly admit AI’s huge productivity gains:

• Intuit’s coding productivity rose 40%.
• Expedia streamlined marketing efforts significantly.
