The problem is the lack of experience compounds which gets worse due to AI.

I have friends whose companies don't pay for any AI tools because it's too expensive. They're not learning as much and they get downlevelled when going to my company.
Meanwhile I know people who left my company for Google after 15 years getting the same role as someone who stayed at Google for 6.
How many juniors OpenAI GDM are going to hire in a year, probably double digits at max, the chances are super slim and they are by nature are allowed to be as picky as they should be.
That being said, I do agree this industry is turning into finance/law, but that won’t last long either. I genuinely can’t foresee what if when AGI/ASI is really here, it should start giving human ideas to better itself, and there will be no incentive to hire any human for a large sum anymore, maybe a single digit individuals on earth perhaps
