Senior Engineer, Laid Off by AI: My Honest Story | First Vlog

This is the beginning of a journey I never expected to take. My last working day is August 31st, 2026. After years as a Senior Software Engineer at a public limited tech company, everything changed when AI was integrated into how we work — and my role was cut. I'm still processing it, honestly. In this first-ever vlog, I'm opening up about what it's really like to be on the front lines of the AI job displacement wave — the interview process (and the heartbreaking silence after), the emotional rollercoaster, and the uncertainty of what's next. This isn't a story of defeat. It's a journey of figuring it all out, step by step. I'm starting this channel to document my search for a new path — whether that's a career pivot, entrepreneurship, or something I haven't figured out yet. You'll be with me for all of it. I hope this channel can be a source of community, support, and maybe even inspiration for others navigating similar challenges in this rapidly evolving world. In this video, I talk about: → The exact moment I knew my role was at risk → The reality of the post-AI job market and today's interview landscape → Why I decided to start this vlog (and what to expect next) If you've been impacted by AI, or you're worried about your future — know that you're not alone. We can figure this out together.
