UsmanUsman · updated September 2026keyword: JUNIOR

What’s shrinking: generic “junior who writes code” roles (AI does the grunt work). What’s still hiring: AI engineering, cloud, cybersecurity, data engineering — where AI needs a human to direct and check it. The move: don’t apply as a generic junior. Pick one of those four, and build ONE real project that proves you can direct AI and catch its mistakes. That project is your application.
