As interest rates go up, the pressure will be felt more and more by un-profitable tech companies to trim cost or go out of business. Labour is the easier cost to trim.
I'd still rather be the place actually developing companies from the ground-up. More sustainable in the long-run to organically create and innovate. You could replace "tech" with "automotive" in your post and it was probably a conversation someone had in the early 90s.
