No, you should be thinking about backup plans, because you should assume you’re not going to walk into another career (I am not suggesting that you are).

- People in other industries actually have specialist knowledge (this is something IT people forget)

- AI is coming for those jobs too

- and so are lots of other people, not just displaced techies but from any number of other industries.

Thinking about it in advance should include training yourself up for other sectors.

If AI is successful, it will be a very different world of jobhunting. If it’s unsuccessful there will still be job losses for a while because of overspending, and because of the wider economic issues.
