It is madness/chaos, and it will only get worse. You should be aware that there is no experience hump that will make these things safe. I've a decade of direct IT experience at the principal engineer/admin level, and been out of work for two years now; I'm retraining to HVAC installation now since no ones hiring. What I'm doing is what happens to the most competent people when there is no work to be had. Once I'm in HVAC, I may play around on side projects in IT, but I wouldn't subject myself to more torture by being dependent on my IT experience. What happens in IT first, later happens broadly. IT is a labor multiplier for everyone else. When labor value of skilled work hits 0 broadly, everything collapses. If you can't find legitimate positions because they all look legitimate, and you never make it to the interview (1:1000 conversion ratio), it won't matter how much you know or how much direct experience you have. I'm seriously looking at securing off-grid food options, and the necessary people/skills to ensure it can't be stolen. Non-reserve debt issuance and money printing will continue driving this trend until food production collapses, then half the global population starves. Its the problem with positive feedback systems. They runaway, and cascade towards failures.
