Career

Career decisions are being made under a lot of noise right now, and these three items try to cut through it with evidence rather than reassurance. Each stands alone, and together they cover the outside view of the labour market and the inside view of what you want from it.

Will Your Career Survive AI? reads the research on which careers endure, which are fading and which are being created. It starts from the fact that two things are true at once: more than 200 economists have warned about large-scale disruption, and overall employment kept growing. It then offers six moves the evidence supports, from using AI daily on your real work to making reskilling a habit rather than an event. It is written for anyone wondering where they sit on the ladder, not just people in tech.

Who Was Right About AI and Jobs? is the follow-up. It collects fifty-five dated predictions about AI and work and grades each one against what actually happened as on track, overstated, understated or too early to call, with the reasoning and source behind every verdict. Ten of the predictions are ours, and they are graded the same way. The clearest pattern is that forecasters tend to get the direction right and the timing wrong, which is worth knowing before you cite any headline number.

Values Assessment turns the question around. Instead of asking what the market will do, it asks what you care about. In about ten minutes you narrow 88 values to your top ten through forced choices, then see how they compare with the publicly stated values of major companies. Those scores reflect what companies say, not necessarily what working there feels like, so treat them as a starting point for research.

Read the first two for context, then use the third to decide what to do with it.
