      Tech is not solely software. Majority of the employees are non-software based workers, like mechanical engineers or simply account managers. Also the video mentioned the massive over-hiring in 2020-2021 which in the end didn't last.

    Companies dont care about you. But these employees are smart they know that which is why avg tech employee stays 2 years before leaving whether on their own or laid off. These tech companies also prefer that because long term employees can get burnout or complacent. So with constant turnover companies get more dedicated fresh workers and workers with target skillset as these companies constantly change their goals.

    Every boom discipline is a victim of its own success. There is always a huge overcorrection. When I was declaring was a time when petroleum engineering had incredibly high job placement despite the huge salaries and I ended up knowing tons of useless petroleum engineering degrees. These projected job growth figures are always wrong the need never manifests it is a statistical artifact from extrapolating when it is not a valid circumstance to extrapolate the sample size of data is way too small to make any conclusions the manpower demand always actually decreases dramatically and at the same time the competition always increases dramatically. Of course they love the hype who doesn't love hype but in reality we are all just circling up bussing shots on one another's shoes pretending like we are getting lucky in denial of the truth that we are just screwing ourselves.
