Hi everyone,
I’m at a career crossroads. I’m currently a dev in Sydney working with legacy code—high QoL, but low pay and zero growth. I just got a Senior Automation offer with a much higher salary, but it requires a 40m commute 3x/week.
With AI transforming the industry, is returning to the automation niche a mistake, or should I push into modern software dev to stay employable? I'd love to hear from those working with AI: is automation still a safe bet, or is it time to pivot?
