I am experiencing a bit of a whiplash here at work. To be fair, I am getting paid very well (and got a significant raise last year, that was good), but we have had positions be open for years now with no hiring. And we are having more and more projects being proposed without finishing the projects themselves. Its the classic they want to do more with less scenario. The top brass just announced a hiring freeze so new devs for a while.

The execs are floating the idea that AI can be used to replace or supplement the people leaving. On all of our propitiatory code-base/solutions…yeah that will go well.

So yeah anyone else dealing with this?

    Im a bit confused. Are you in a startup? And you are learning the ropes on the business side?

      yes. and yes. basically everything. I assume summarizing my tasks/work would require 3 job positions filled.

        GL! Thats a hard one.

        Ive found my highest paying roles were in traditional workplaces with very specific duties. Startups in my area dont usually do well. But I hear stories of people hitting big. Seems like a very high risk/reward situation.
