I don't know why it's like that in the entire world, but in France, the
reason is obvious. The company refuse to take into account technical
skills. If you want to increase your salary, you have to switch to
management. So, as nobody wants to become the most important guy in the
company with the lowest salary, there is no more experts.

I think the issue is general, and so are the exceptions to it. On the
one hand I’ve heard similar complaints about UK and US employers.

I'm not well informed on the US employers. I heard one can be a
programmer in US with a very good salary which is impossible in France.
I mean compared with a manager, not compared with a low job salary. Now,
I know that in US the salary are higher than in France. Which is very
good for a young guy without kid. For someone with kids, the difference
in salary isn't as good. And for an older guy with health issues, the
difference in salary isn't as good, neither.

So, I don't really know and it's very difficult to compare the salaries
between France and US because the taxes are very different.

And most importantly, things evolved very fast, so if you become an
expert on something which disappear, you switch very fast from very
required guy to useless guy. So, before becoming an expert, you need to
be sure your skills will stay useful until you retire. Which is
difficult if you are young.

Specializing in the wrong thing is certainly a risk. For any given
technology it’s useful to be able to look past what its boosters (and
detractors) say about it to whether it does anything useful in reality.

It's very difficult to know how to specialize. And today more than ever
because of the AI. One can know what AI can do today and what it can't
do. But one can't know what it will be able to do tomorrow. And one
can't know how it will be used tomorrow. One can have guesses, but one
can't know. One thing is sure: some jobs will be impacted. For some jobs
the impact can be easy to guess, but it remains a guess. Which can be
proven wrong with AI evolution.

I'm not saying AI are good or bad. I'm just saying AI will impact jobs.
And I'm saying the impact is impossible to know for sure. Some can have
strong opinion about it, it still remain some guess impossible to prove.
