A job is a purpose made of tasks. Automating the tasks changes the job without removing the purpose.
Separate what you can do from the structure that makes it valuable, and watch the structure.
Choosing a seat, judging the effect of automation on a role, or answering what AI changes about an analyst job.
From Floored · 2009
Name the purpose of a job separately from its tasks; automation changes the tasks and leaves the purpose to be done better or worse.
Answering what AI changes about an analyst role, planning a career, or assessing headcount claims in a bank.
From NVIDIA's fiscal 2026 letter from Jensen Huang · Jensen Huang
Prepare for the parts of the job the tools make scarce, judgement and client sense, rather than the parts they make cheap.
The interview question about what AI changes for an analyst, and planning what to get good at before you start.
From Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon on AI, Debt and America’s Future · Prof G Markets
