Pick a 2-week experiment
Role cards show experiments — not forever titles. Pick one and lock it.
Recap
What you just did
CareerExperimentPicker offered Ops, Product, Data, Engineering, and Domain experiments — a 2-week test, not a forever title.
Teach
How it works
Explore four broad paths:
- Build — software, data, models, infrastructure
- Apply — use AI deeply in a profession or industry
- Shape — product, design, operations, education, marketing
- Evaluate and govern — quality, safety, policy, security, compliance
Use evidence from your own experience:
Things I enjoy: explaining hard ideas, interviewing people, editing
Current skills: classroom teaching, spreadsheets, basic research
Constraints: 4 hours per week; no career break
Suggest 3 AI-related path experiments.
For each give:
- one role family, not a guaranteed job title
- skills I already transfer
- one skill gap
- a 2-week portfolio project
- one working professional I could learn from
Do not predict salary or hiring chances without current sources.
Then validate outside the chat. Read current job descriptions, compare repeated requirements, talk to people doing the work, and build something small. Titles change quickly; demonstrated judgment and domain knowledge travel better.
Use it
When you'd use this
- Exploring how AI changes your current field
- Choosing a course or portfolio project
- Translating existing experience into new role families
Watch out
Watch out
Career advice from AI can be outdated, generic, or biased toward highly visible tech jobs. Verify labor-market claims with current sources. Do not assume every role needs advanced math — or that a weekend prompt course guarantees employment.
