clairevo · x · 2026-11-11
Lenny Rachitsky published his fifth biannual tech job market report, calling it the most surprising yet:
- PMs are winning in the AI era, while engineering demand has stalled
- Design openings are at a record low
- Every role now requires AI skills
- Tech jobs are concentrating in the Bay Area, and remote roles are at a record low
Follow-up discussion asked whether new "generalist builder" roles are actually emerging.
