Yes it’s still valid
This community is very pessimistic, but SEO at the agencies i work at is making more than ever.
You will get a lot of “SEO is dead” “it’s just backlinks and nothing else” but it’s still a very valid career as Google still dominates
Plus optimizing for LLMs is huge right now.
Of course being independent is very difficult, so you may face difficulties that aren’t related to SEO being valid but more lack of trust in freelancers / small agencies
