It seems the market now prefers juniors over seniors let alone managers because it’s easier to exploit them, cheaper, and better and molding them to whatever work environment.

Most companies work with these IT sweatshops (Accenture, Cognizant, Wipro, Tata...) only once, before learning why others try to avoid them. And people who spend a very long time at these companies are at a disadvantage, unless they are looking for work at another one of these sweatshops.

And of course, the role "manager" is synonymous with paper pushing. Expensive paper pushing.

One could make an argument that the market has shifted, and he is not responding to it. I mean, I get it - no one wants a pay cut. But in an industry that has seen tens of thousands of job cuts, supply and demand does kind of take over.
