Agentic AI Jobs (2025)

Agentic AI is booming...

— but the talent pipeline is broken

  • 4.2M AI job postings (2025) — but only 320K qualified devs

  • Salaries up 57% since 2023 — yet roles stay open 142 days on average

  • 60% of agentic roles in India go unfilled — even with 3× market pay

  • Fewer than 300 U.S. AI PhDs per year — most go to Big Tech

But why the shortage?

Because it’s structural - here’s what’s really happening:

  • Universities are behind: 60% of AI master’s programs still focus only on ML.

  • PhD brain drain: Big Tech lures top talent with 7-figure offers—academia can’t keep up.

  • Talent is over-concentrated: 65% of elite AI talent lives in just 5 global hubs.

  • Upskilling is slow: Only 35% of professionals received AI training last year.

  • Modern roles demand more: You now need model ops, prompt design, orchestration, safety—all in one.

What does this mean for you?

Agentic AI roles are exploding - and the talent gap is your advantage.

🔥Act now, skill up fast, and lead the wave!🔥
