How to hire when news of layoffs appears more often than new vacancies? In 2025, more and more CEOs will attribute optimization to the impact of AI, and a study by Business Insider estimates that 41% of companies are preparing for layoffs due to artificial intelligence. For me, every such news is not a reason to panic, but a signal to reconsider the approach and understand how AI is changing the tech industry and motivating specialists to update skills and rethink career paths.

The greatest joy is to see that your work and your experience transform the team, the product and even the industry,» says the IT professional. In an interview with dev.ua, she told how she conquered America, what those who plan to move to the land of opportunities should prepare for, and whether American IT differs much from local Ukrainian IT.
