Question for those in the know: are IT jobs being affected the same as software engineering jobs with all the consolidation and AI?

Whats the outlook like?

Thank you!

Like, IT helpdesk? Yes. Almost all of the tickets I create as a "knowledge worker" to my enterprise helpdesk are sloved by an AI assistant - group ownership, adding me to an app, etc.

    I meant more generally - IT administration, Networking, DevOps etc.. as in, is it a shrinking field or a growing one?

      Hard to tell, there's a lot of stagnation because of the larger market.

      Some argue more apps means more plumbers and problem solvers, but we'll see.

      Speculation: I think infra roles including on-prem are growing again, based on things I've seen.
