What The Heck is Going On With The UX Job Market?

To cut a long story short, it’s a complete shit show right now.

This is what a career strategist / job search coach should be doing - detailed, data driven analysis of the state of the job market, backed up with real advice on how to handle the circumstances. The UX job market is buffeted by a number issues - not least the collapse of VC investment (hyper-scaling startups were most enthusiast evangelisers of UX) and perhaps the rise of GenAI, which poses some fundamental questions of the role of UX when dashboards get replaced by input boxes. Anyways, this is a great read - is there a recruiter / HR equivalent to this? If so, I want to know who you are.
