The episode explores a significant shift in the tech job market, moving away from its previous status as a guaranteed path to high-paying careers. It details how factors such as mass layoffs, market saturation due to an influx of graduates, and the rise of AI-powered automation have reduced opportunities, especially for entry-level positions.
