if you work in IT, you really need to think about what kind of job you'll do in the next couple years.
edit: just to clarify, you won't be looking for a job because AI took it. you'll be looking for a job because AI crashed the economy and took the tech sector with it.
I worked tech support for 13 years before finally burning out in 2018. So glad I am NOT in tech right now!
Out of curiosity, what field did you switch to?
Self employed in IT, nope, I will be fine.
what happens to jobs when an economy dependent on technology is no longer sustainable and bursts?
best of luck to you though.
