Section 1
The premise
AI is a useful structuring tool for the messy work of mapping a career change: it can compare two job descriptions, identify what transfers and what does not, and suggest a learning sequence to close the gap.
What AI does well here
- Listing the explicit and implicit skills in a target role
- Identifying which of your current skills genuinely transfer
- Drafting a 90-day learning plan with specific resources
- Suggesting bridge roles that move you halfway toward the pivot
What AI cannot do
- Know which skills your specific network will help you signal
- Predict job market demand a year or two from now
- Replace the lived experience of doing the new work for the first time
