To be fair, we're already starting to see this without AI. Seems like every company under the sun is looking for 'senior' and 'lead' and 'staff' level employees now, with very little consideration put into entry or junior level roles. Seems like the days of anyone learning on the job have been over for a while now, and everyone is instead expected to hit the ground running 4 minutes after being hired with the exact skill set needed by the role in question.
I can definitely see AI making it worse though, given how less effort needs to be given to menial/entry level work when its implemented.
- fakedang 2y agoIn all fairness, titles like "senior", "lead", "staff" tend to be allotted to developers solely on years of experience, and not on any consistent (across companies) metric of performance. I've done my fair bit of hiring for quant trading roles at my firm, and some junior traders can easily stand head to head against many of the wizened senior traders we've interviewed and hired, who've had years of experience at leading companies. Perhaps in that respect, financial firms are more meritocratic than tech companies. And also with jobs largely immune to AI, because nobody's stupid enough to send their code to OpenAI or GitHub.

Your quant fund may have an AI policy, but I guarantee you someone is leaking internal libraries to closed source foundation models.
