The rise of AI is reshaping the landscape of tech hiring, leading to a significant decline of over 50% in entry-level positions in Big Tech since before the pandemic. Research from SignalFire indicates that technology firms are increasingly prioritizing mid-senior level hires, as they require immediate contributors capable of working autonomously. This marks a departure from the tradition of hiring young, inexperienced workers, who are now encountering more difficulties in securing jobs within the industry, coinciding with startups adapting to survive in a challenging economy.
SignalFire's latest State of Talent report reveals that entry-level hiring in Big Tech is down more than 50% from pre-pandemic levels.

Tech startups have long been synonymous with youth; today, they're focused on survival and seeking experienced talent.
