What helps
- Demand still persists through current labour or hiring signals.
- A meaningful share of the work can likely be reorganized around AI rather than removed outright.
What could slow it down
- Current demand support is thin, so offsets may take longer to show up.
- Credential or licensing barriers could make switching harder than the adjacent-role list suggests.
- Employer-side pressure is still elevated in nearby functions.
