AI fear might not be the only reason tech talent is holding tight to their jobs
"Professionals are less concerned about layoffs, a recent survey from Indeed found. At this point, 31% say they're worried about layoffs at their companies, down from 39% a year ago. Even more dramatically, 41% would consider looking for a new job if their company had layoffs that didn't directly impact them -- this is down significantly from 70% a year ago."
"There's some disturbing news as well in the survey data: 26% report tech talent was let go or laid off because of AI. More than one-third, 35%, are also concerned that AI may be able to take over their role. Tech management postings are down 19% from a year ago, and postings for non-management tech pros are down 34%. Also: AI is more likely to transform your job than replace it, Indeed finds"
Tech professionals report reduced concern about layoffs, with 31% worried now compared with 39% a year earlier. Willingness to job hunt after unrelated layoffs dropped from 70% to 41%. Twenty-six percent report tech talent was let go because of AI, while 35% fear AI could take over their roles. Tech management job postings are down 19% year-over-year and non-management tech postings are down 34%. Employers seek skills rarely listed by candidates, including distributed computing, machine learning frameworks, model deployment, and site reliability engineering. The slowdown in job hunting may reflect economic uncertainty, AI-driven disruption, or a combination of factors.
