Episode notes
AI Is Net Positive For Jobs
- LinkedIn data shows AI created ~1.3 million net new jobs across many roles.
- AI is a net positive for job growth, not a mass eliminator.
Entry-Level Slowdown Is Macroeconomic
- Entry-level hiring is down ~12% but follows overall sluggish hiring trends.
- The slowdown is due more to macroeconomics and interest rates than to AI.
Prioritize Short-Term Skill Bets
- Focus on which new skills you will learn in the next few months, not distant five-year plans.
- Treat career growth as horizontal skill expansion because roles are flattening into generalists.
