How rough is the job market really now?

I noticed some software engineers are still getting $300,000 roles and many are just being kicked out of companies or not looked at when applying for their roles and working to get things done. How rough is the job market now for professional roles in some sense with the use of AI taking everything over or are the roles still there but just being turned into a manner where AI is being needed to stay competitive and in the roles at all? What is the future outlook really like?
