      AI and offshoring means there’s going to be a lot less entry level jobs in the future.

      In my firm, we’ve already offshored a third of our work. It’s insane

      Is there really that many more accountants on the south side?

      It’s time to bust out the big guns.

      They’ll have to get outside and sing Ireland’s Call together again.

      Don’t worry Lorcan in the a tennis club will make sure Finn Jr and little Saoirse will still be ok for their 80k a year “who you know” graduate roles. It’s the 40k “don’t know anyone” roles that will be cut.

      Its already happening. 

      Business Studies graduates in particular are ending up in near minimum wage jobs with few prospects.

      Are they hiring from South Dublin much anymore? We’ve Deloitte staff working in our offices and they’re complaining that they’re only hiring from further afield.

      AI has definitely got it in for Accountants and Solicitors. And Insurance Brokers.

      It’s a a tongue in cheek headline but the content of article does raise an interesting point. With this capitalist system, everything produced for sale requires demand from an end consumer and their money at the end of the chain, so if AI takes away the incomes of a chunk of the population, how can AI actually add value / income for the tech bros in the long term?

      I’m so nervous I didn’t buy a gant half zip in the sales

      Daft headline but IT jobs are the same.

      In the past if you were told the company was opening a technology center in India to free up Irish staff to do more interesting jobs…you probably had 4 years before you were gone. Just the way of things.

      We’re introducing AI to allow you to do more interesting things – you’ve 6 months. The things that would have made you standout a few years ago are now just a prompt away.

      I’m a recruiter in this area and while I agree there are big concerns, I feel everyone is being distracted by the AI buzzword.

      In most cases, these interns are being replaced by staff in India because the basic-level work is being offshored.

      These firms have huge “Global Delivery Centres” in India which operate 24 hours per day and do the grunt work for all of the western-world offices.

      The catch is that the trainees being replaced are the future Managers, Directors and Partners. The former model was hiring a bunch of top university grads, train them and pay for their studies, get them to do the hard monotonous work, then promote a few of them into management. The rest leave for jobs with other companies.

      But in recent years very few Irish people have been interested in remaining with these firms long-term and they’ve been relying hugely on hiring from non-EU countries particularly South Africa, Pakistan, India and Philippines. Rather than compete on salary to attract Irish workers, they’re able to use the carrot of a Critical Skill Permit and path to Irish Citizenship to keep a flow of experienced non-EU Big 4 accountants coming to them.

      But I think they’re doubling down and deciding they’re not even going to bother training in big numbers anyone anymore. They’re just going to hire from overseas and offshore/AI the rest. This is really bad for Irish graduates wanting to get into accounting, and is being facilitated by the work permit system.

      Companies should need to prove they’ve tried increasing salaries to local market candidates before going overseas. If your business model doesn’t support paying a market rate salary then fuck your business model, in my opinion.
