Another sign the world is moving towards a cyberpunk future, with extremely unevenly distributed outcomes.

Work in tech as a full time employee at a megacorp or well funded start up and in many ways your value has never been higher. On the other hand some companies are outsourcing entire IT departments.

The same thing has happened in law: attorneys salaries are bimodal, where top law grads moving to corporate white shoe firms start with strong 6 figure salaries and the rest at much lower levels of remuneration.

This bifurcation of society is certainly due to very real economic forces (outsized success for firms addressing a global market), but it absolutely cannot be socially stable in the long term.
