A place to post ridiculous posts from linkedIn.com
(Full transparency.. a mod for this sub happens to work there.. but that doesn't influence his moderation or laughter at a lot of posts.)
This might be a bit controversial, but all those fields he mentioned do have younger people learning how to do the work. Doctors spend 7 or more years doing doctor work under someone else's watch before they can strike out on their own.
You could call them junior doctors if you like
Nothing controversial there. That person obviously has no idea what they're talking about, as they've clearly never stepped foot on a construction site where junior engineers work alongside senior ones.
The same goes for other professions.
I don't get what point he is trying to make?
You should do linear regression in excel and call yourself a statistician, is the message, I guess.
Do you think that's a question?
Have you just invented the regressive requestion?
So he's saying that people whose entire qualification are they went through a 2 week boot camp or through a youtube tutorial aren't qualified...? I think? I tend to agree if thats all theyve done, but to be honest a lot of my degree felt like it could have been a 4 hour YT tutorial.
People who get out of uni have no real world experience and should be treated as a juniors though. I've met a lot of people who have book smarts and no idea what to do after theyre in an org. They're weird to work with because you can explain a concept, they'll get it but not be able to apply it or fully see relevance. They're intelligent but lack experience, which seniors provide.
The LinkedIn OP doesn't write clearly, but seems to think junior roles don't do real work. He clearly needs to work in a SOC role to see the difference between a junior and a senior. Lacking experience doesn't mean no meaningful output.
There were and are always junior positions in all fields. The other fields are just less self indulgent about the years of experience.
In fields where a college/university degree is a requirement, people start their careers in some kind of junior position anyway.
100% correct. If AI somehow replaces junior devs, someone will have to train them in substitute for paid real-world experience.
It'll be unpaid internships and stuff like that.
