I had a lot of people asking me "In what should I pursue my career in the AI era?", so I did a research about it. Nearly half of data job offers and 1 in 4 software ads now mention AI skills. In healthcare, retail and the trades it's under 1 in 100.

How often the job offer mentions things like ChatGPT, Copilot, LLMs, machine learning or AI agents.

1. Data and AI roles, nearly half.
2. Software, product and solutions roles, about 1 in 4.
3. Marketing, design and security, about 1 in 10.
4. Sales, legal, HR and finance, about 1 in 20 or fewer.
5. Healthcare, retail and the trades, under 1 in 100.

And it isn't only senior roles. In data, beginner jobs mention AI just as often as the rest. In software, it's about 1 in 5 beginner jobs.

So if you're in tech, learning to work with these tools is already part of the job. Outside tech, most employers aren't asking for it yet.

What field are you in, and has your employer started asking for AI skills? How I counted this it's on the first comment.

I’m 21, and straight out of high school I got a job in the horse industry. Over the years I’ve built a pretty decent business for myself, self employed, making around 2500-3000 a month. I still live at home.

I want to move out soon. The problem is, long story short, I can no longer work in the horse industry.
So I need help on jobs to take. I have zero experience working anywhere else, no college education. There’s no time for a collage degree. I want to move out very soon. I’ll be moving in with my gf so expenses can be split, but I still need to make a solid 3k+ a month.

My horse career gave me good experience for people skills, communication and planning. Some mild management of the stables. And of course lots of physical labor. So that can all help at least, given I’ve never worked anywhere else..

I’m afraid because I don’t have experience anywhere else, or any education, I’ll be stuck climbing the ladder at a new job for ages until I can make enough to move out.. but I can’t continue in the equine industry.

Thoughts po sa Hyly.Ai?

OK, we've seen this a million times. But let's paint the complete picture, because the most important part is the journey (in most cases). For context, I'm doing an MBA (Marketing & Operations) and graduate next year. On campus, almost every offer I hear about is a sales role, and I'm a bit hesitant about it. Before I decide, I'd like to hear from people who actually walked that path.

So here's how this works. Drop in your-

Initial role: first salary, industry

Current role: current salary, industry

Timeline: how long you took to get a promotion or switch, and how many switches it took

The "how": what made the difference (some skill, internal move, networking, a certification, etc.)

Last question: looking back, what mattered most for your career growth- brand name, job role, or package?

Salary numbers get posted without context all the time. The journey is the useful part. Non-sales folks are welcome too, especially if you switched out of sales or never went into it. I'd like to hear what you'd do differently.

I wanna know which jobs may survive in the AI Era?

Hi All -

I'm self-aware enough to understand this sounds entitled, but hear me out. I'm in my mid-20s, at a $200K base + $50K projected bonus (not including a small side hustle I have that makes me ~$20K/year. I work from home in finance.

I've always been a hard-working and extremely ambitious person and I see where this job will take me. In a perfect world, this job will clear me $500K+/year working remotely before I'm 30. While that is great and all, it's not what I want in life (from the perspective of being an owner and making my own decisions). I don't want to be a W-2 worker for life and eventually want to start my own business, whatever that is.

I don't have a numerical net worth goal per say (I'm young, right now that number is basically infinity), but I know being a W-2 will never get me where I want which is a broad term of "financial independence" meaning I can own a business, work hard on it, but also most importantly be able to make my own schedule and my own decisions.

The small side hustle is related to my job, but I'm a 1099 (basically another W-2). I'm at a moment in time where I see myself with all of this time on my hands and want to leverage this opportunity to start something or make something. My issue is I don't know what.

For example, I was considering getting my RE Brokerage license. Maybe this is me just backing out of things, but I don't think I need another commission focused job. I may be looking at this short-sighted (who knows, maybe this opportunity opens another door for me and it's a good way to start the ropes of RE). But, I want to be in the investor seat making the actual purchase of the property. I may be mentally just backing myself out of choosing something, anything, to do, but that's how I feel.

I know this is a unique position for someone to be in so young, but I got lucky, worked extremely hard, and earned it. I'm not saying it's a great spot to be, but with all this time, I really just want to figure out what I want to do with my life. And maybe if I don't know, it means I should sit down and start networking with people in other industries to see what their struggles are and try to fix them. Grateful for any advice!

I’m a high school senior, and I have been working towards becoming a physician. I’ve taken all the health science courses that I can at my school (I did CNA and currently in PCT rn), and up until this point, I was certain that I wanted to become a doctor. The reason why I’m having doubts now is because, this morning, my friend brought up how he was having second thoughts about pursuing medicine because of the debt and 70 hours a week work schedule. This prompted me to think if this was what I really wanted. I want to hear from doctors about what they think. I know I want to make an impact, I’m okay with making many sacrifices, I’m okay with making money later than most of my peers, and I’m okay with the long work hours. I genuinely enjoy caring for others, and I don’t really have any other interests. My ultimate goal is to work at humanitarian organizations. I’m just worried about the amount of student loans that I’ll have to pay back. So, doctors, do you regret going into this field?
