    For those looking to get into the IT space, this doesn’t seem very promising.

    Has anyone else on the ground felt the impacts of these layoffs?

      Nah, this layoff culture has been happening for a while now, the AI tie-in is just a convenient excuse.

        The first part of your statement is true, especially at Microsoft, but the latter part is not. AI is certainly poised to take a lot of jobs, from a lot of hardworking people.

      Not me personally because I jumped ship from a company before they did massive layoffs. I was lucky but I have friends who have been out of work for months now. It’s difficult for them.

      I work for a traditionally brick-and-mortor-focused company that is honestly still figuring out “the intetnets.” I’ve heard no rumblings about getting swept up in the AI bubble hype.
