A wake-up call

“To fix entry-level work, we’ll have to reimagine it entirely.” 
– Aneesh Raman, chief economic opportunity officer at LinkedIn

A recent New York Times op-ed by LinkedIn’s Aneesh Raman sounded the alarm: Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping entry-level office jobs—those crucial proving grounds for tomorrow’s leaders.

As AI tools take over repetitive tasks, these foundational roles risk becoming obsolete unless companies rethink how early-career employees learn and contribute. Raman urges organizations to redesign entry-level jobs around strategic, value-adding work. Adapt or risk losing your talent pool to companies that do.

Conor Grennan, Chief AI Architect at NYU Stern, echoed this call on LinkedIn, encouraging companies to:

1. Redesign entry-level roles

2. Rethink training models

3. Redefine success metrics

These appeals for vast changes to traditional jobs are also a wake-up call for anyone hesitant to embrace AI or admit it’s changing virtually everything we do. If your development path still looks like it did 10 years ago, it’s time for a reboot.
