What's a good long-term career a web developer can switch to in these times?
I've been working in web development as a fullstack developer for over 3 years and with the exponential progress of AI, bad job market, stagnant pay, and hearing about lay offs left and right I think it's time to switch to something else.
I went into this career thinking it'll be very creative and fullfilling with lots of money to be made and the ability to work remote, but it feels more like I'm the coding version of a construction worker, just doing what the business wants in terms of tasks, following their designs to the T. Dealing with scrum and bad project managers and people out to get you aren't great as well, although I assume every job might have that.
With AI taking our jobs in the future or employers using it as an excuse to lay people off, I was wondering what could be something that could survive into the future. I've considered cybersecurity, but I heard it's saturated as well and very repetitive. Any good options out there? I'm still hoping it's possible to work remotely
