RTO mandates read like a policy that treats everyone the same. The attrition data says otherwise: it selects first for the engineers a team can least afford to lose.
Cheating on take-home coding tests is near 48% for technical roles. The rush back to camera-monitored live coding solves the cheating problem while breaking a different one.
A Microsoft paper says AI boosts senior engineers and drags down junior ones. Run a standard career ladder against the hiring numbers, and the shortage gets a window: roughly 2028 to 2033.
India's 11.5% GCC increment figure looks healthy in aggregate. Split the data by AI specialisation, performance tier, and geography — and two separate markets emerge inside those averages.
India's 2,117 GCCs employ 2.36M tech professionals, with senior attrition at 22–30%. Founders still can't hire. The paradox resolves once you stop assuming GCCs and startups compete for the same engineers.
Take-home coding assignments were designed to measure unassisted engineering work. AI coding tools made that assumption obsolete. Here is what the replacement formats look like.
