Who it is for

If you have asked "will my role exist in three years?"

It is written for people in tech, data, marketing, design, compliance, finance, accounting, legal, sales and operations. AI is not taking your whole job tomorrow, but it is changing which parts of it people pay for.

Still in the job

You can feel the role changing

You see the tools arriving and want to move up before someone decides for you.

Changing direction

You want your next role, not the same one

Each pathway names the skills employers now ask for and how to show them.

Recently let go

You have experience and need a plan

A calm 30 day plan, how to explain the gap, and how to use your years as your edge.

What is inside

Three parts. Read the one you need.

Part 1

The big shift

What AI takes first, what stays yours, and why roles are merging. Plus the Cyprus picture from job ads and vacancy data. Ten minutes.

Part 2

Your next move

One page per role, with a junior and a senior view for accountants and lawyers: where you are, where employers are heading, three skills to add, how to show them, two interview questions.

Part 3

Make it visible

CV and LinkedIn lines you can copy, interview answers, and a 30 day plan to start this week.

Part 2, the pathways

Find your role in the list.

  1. QA tester→ Automation engineer, then AI evals engineer
  2. BI analyst→ Data engineer
  3. Developer→ AI engineer
  4. Email and HTML developer→ Marketing technologist
  5. Graphic designer→ Digital or product designer
  6. Project manager→ AI enabled project leader
