.They're hiring more of you.
Most people I talk to over 45 have quietly decided AI is a young person's game. They don't say it out loud. They just stop paying attention, the way you stop reading the small print on something you've decided isn't for you.
This week a study came out that points the other way.
Two researchers, one at Stanford and one at King's College London, looked at 1.25 billion job adverts across 41 countries.
At companies that adopted AI, senior employment rose by about 8.7%.
Junior employment continued to fall by about -4.5% year on year
The firms moving fastest are hiring more experienced people, not fewer.
The pressure is landing on people at the start of their careers.
For many of you reading this, that means your children.
That's not great news, but the opportunity for them is different.
The work that's disappearing is the work a junior used to do, and it's exactly the work an AI assistant is really good at.
So your experience is worth more, but only if you're the one directing that work rather than doing it yourself.
"Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him."..Aldous Huxley
Your years in work count for more than you realise.
Opportunities are rising for you, if you're ready to meet them.
One small ask.
Hit reply and tell me your job title and one task you'd hand off tomorrow if you could. I read every reply.
