    This is quite the interesting take. While it's great to hear about these high-paying new jobs, I can't help but wonder about the folks whose roles just got "killed," as you say. We're talking about a significant shift, and not everyone will have the resources or the runway to pivot into these new, specialized fields, especially in a diverse region like Asia. It feels like we're celebrating the creation of a few elite roles, but perhaps overlooking the broader impact on the existing workforce. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, isn't it?

    This is quite the interesting read! It's reassuring to see new opportunities emerge, especially those high-paying ones. I'm curious though, for folks in India, how accessible are these specific "Asia" focused training programs? Are we talking about global courses or ones tailored locally?

    Interesting read. Wonder how accessible these "£100k+" jobs truly are for folks without a deep tech background, especially here in Singapore.
