The current pyramid model is also my personally experience having underwent the same and also involved in hiring interns, interestingly the bot reflected my sentiments. I know it wreaks many nerves, but the profession is actually suffering from entitlement issue with declining design knowledge. But this is just a debate on a different platform.
'Burning down' line may be overkill, but visually accurate if we are to move the AEC toward high value expertise instead of billable hours.
