      <description>&lt;p&gt;Microsoft is restructuring again — this time, letting go of &lt;strong&gt;6,000 employees&lt;/strong&gt; to double down on &lt;strong&gt;AI operations&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here's what I covered in my full blog:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Why Microsoft made this move&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Which teams were affected&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;How this mirrors trends across Big Tech&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What this shift says about the future of tech jobs&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;💡 AI isn’t just a buzzword — it’s rewriting company priorities and job markets.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Are we witnessing the end of traditional tech roles? Or is this just another rebalancing cycle?&lt;/p&gt;
