Yes, it's a mess out there. I've been hearing these stories for 3 years now. Initially, graduates seemed to be replacing mid-career people according to some research from the 4As. Now graduates are struggling to get work as more expensive and older people are pushed out.
Let's hope it settles soon although I'm not sure this thing goes in reverse.
I feel it's a one-way movement, and the explosion of people in self-employment (especially strategists) is only going to continue. That said, it's a good opportunity for clients, IMO. I'll send you an email Mark, because I think there's probably something we could all do as strategy communities to better signpost and support people at the moment, even if it's just some shared resources or offers to listen/chat.
If you’re in Berlin, you’re always welcome to join our strategy-community - https://www.linkedin.com/groups/12684418/
I think there's probably some value in trying to connect our communities up in some way so people have local support where and when they need it.
