Pro tip, you will never actually get any training. Everything you do is self taught. I have had 0 mentors in my \~3 years as a developer and everything I know, I have learned by myself. I had some seniors fill my knowledge gap with SOLID and ACID, and they gave me book recommendations, but overall I still had to go in and do the work. It only gets more cumbersome the higher up you go. They expect you to be able to figure things out on your own and be able to learn much faster. I have no problem with that, but that requires you to pay me more. Overall, if you're a Junior and you code in your free time and self teach yourself, you'll be fine imo. If you think you're cooked, then you probably are. If not, then you'll be fine. I'm not worried about AI in the slightest and I always remind managers or business people that I am the technical expert not AI. You have to be able to shove your authority and subject matter expertise on the matter in order to shut up people about AI. An example is this, if someone has 10+ years experience in the business but 0 technical ability and does not know how to code or computers work and you have 1 year of experience, guess what, you are now de facto the technical expert. It's social engineering trick but it works. They can't say shit because they don't know and their business experience doesn't mean shit in the technical world and it's **your job** to remind and enforce that upon them. You need to have the confidence to do this. If you back down, no one will listen to you imo.
