2024 - Most challenging Year of survival for Quality engineers

How many of you think that saving a job in 2024 going to be most challenging thing? I had survived 2 layoffs in 2023 & had a very hard time to prove my relevancy as a Quality engineer despite having 10+ years of experience & all the hard work. Now, since AI has already entered into this space, the struggle is going to be much more intense. No matter how unsafe & anti-competitive the usage of AI for Integration & E2E testing, Its going to create its space & leave some destruction atleast in first few years unless some major regulations come from US or EU governments on their copyright infringement. My colleagues who were laid off, It took them atleast 6 months to land another job with same or decreased salary. Sadly I am not very optimistic the way I was at the start of 2023.

Would like to know your opinions, experience around it & what you guys are feeling?
