I'm sorry, nothing personal...but any place that requires 8 years of experience but only gives a title of "junior" is pretty dang close to a sweat shop.

On a different note, i do see what you mention about some op excellence skills (e.g. project management, requirements gathering, etc.) being areas of concern at my $dayjob. But, i kinda always saw them as skills that are valuable in any era, and need not only be in this AI era....but everyone's mileage and environment certainly can vary that expectation. Also, at my $dayjob, the business lacks so much funding to pay software vendors fairly, properly that we get what we pay for....so its often low quality output. Its not low *code* because we employee and contract regular, full code devs....but it certainly often is poor quality...and i wonder as low code offerings and opportunities - paired with more solid AI development asistance - continue to emerge, i suppose something like a SRE role can become that much more important - regardless if one works in low code or low cost arena.
