It's usually about learning longest, rather than fastest. Plateauing is the enemy.
Andreas von der Heydt
Once you realize that every stage in life comes with its own daunting storms and wonderful sunshine, you'll enjoy and live it to the fullest.

Job applications are up, but honing on the right people with the right skills has never been harder. I'm excited to introduce Hiring Assistant 2... our newest version of the world's best AI recruiting product. Thanks to Isabelle Bousquette at The Wall Street Journal for the conversation.

This is a version of unbundling, which happens all the time in markets and can be incredibly strategically disruptive… the most valuable components of a product are carved out and performed by a faster/cheaper/better solution. I think Ethan is right to call out this trend for certain jobs, which will shine a light on which parts of the job are truly valued (and paid for) by the market… because it’s not always what we think at face value. Are universities paying mathematicians for proofs or teaching?Ethan Mollick

What you are seeing in math right now is a consequence of the jagged frontier, and a precursor of what is to come in other professions. Yes, mathematicians do math, but they also have other tasks they view as important (mentor students, maintain a scientific community, safeguard the future of a field, foster a love of math) that AI can't do
At least one worry that mathematicians seem to have is that by focusing on the flashiest, most obvious element of what mathematicians do (make proofs), the AI companies are damaging the other tasks that AI can't do. AI can discover superhuman proofs, but that is not all that the math profession is about, and actually can undermine and reduce the attention to the other aspects of the job that are important to mathematicians. It becomes harder to defend the value of the many other tasks mathematicians do to the outside world if the most visible part is taken away.
I suspect we will see more of this across fields and professions that will increasingly be forced to help people understand that their jobs consist not only the most visible tasks that AI can do, but also tasks that the AI cannot do or does badly.like 83love 7insightful 7support 4

GenZ in the workplace this, GenZ in the workplace that.
LinkedIn saw that everyone had so much to say about how we as GenZ show up in the workplace that they invited me out to headquarters in Mountain View, CA to ask the questions to the man in charge-- CEO Daniel Shapero.
Dan and I got to talk honestly about what’s happening with early career opportunities and how to create experiences for yourself in a changing work climate.
We also talked about the elephant in the room… what AI means for professionals navigating their first jobs.
The biggest takeaways I’m leaving with?
1️⃣ Be generous with your experience.
⏩ Share your learnings and what it took for you to get there. That doesn't have to mean posting if you’re not ready for that. Comment and engage to maintain your connections and celebrate wins alongside others.
2️⃣ ”Connectionmaxxing” (as the Gen Alphas are calling it) doesn’t do much for ya in terms of creating opportunity. Those 500+ connections should be people you’ve actually engaged with, not just strangers on the internet.
⏩ Cultivating meaningful relationships will always bring you more value than spray-and-pray connecting.
3️⃣ There are fewer entry level jobs, we’re not imagining that… but the data suggest it’s not necessarily AI’s fault. Interest rates are actually the more likely culprit.
⏩ Standing out obviously matters more than ever, but using AI to apply for more jobs isn’t the solution. What is working, is investing in the human relationships that undergird every employment decision.
Can’t wait to share the full interview with you soon 😀 #LinkedInPartner #GenZintheWorkplace #Postgrad #EarlyCareer #GenZlike 83love 13celebrate 8insightful 5support 4

We’ve been spending time listening to Gen Z about how they’re building professional relationships as they become more influential in the workplace. Most interesting to me was that despite growing up in a world where you build relationships on digital platforms, Gen Z don't find it easy to do this for work... which is something I want LinkedIn to improve on. I know that many of my own professional opportunities were shaped by relationships I'd invested in.
Curious what advice you’d give someone early in their career who’s trying to build professional relationships?like 1,062love 88insightful 59celebrate 21support 16funny 2

Went down the rabbit hole on data centers in space... the crazy thing I didn't realize is that one of the hardest parts is going to be cooling the GPUs. But wait, isn't space cold?!? Yes, but in a vacuum there's no medium for absorbing the heat into the surrounding area... so you need to radiate it away. This article says that for a 100MW data center, you need 2500 pickleball court size radiators. That sounds like a lot. Super interesting.

Enjoyed chatting with Varun Mayya about LinkedIn and my career journey over a whiteboard. We wound up talking about mistakes, lucky breaks, and what I'd do differently if I were starting out in 2026. Thanks for the conversation Varun!

I asked the CEO of LinkedIn which jobs people are actually getting hired for right now, and what he would do if he was 22 in India today. I also got him to reverse engineer his entire career on a whiteboard, from three failed startups to becoming CEO. Nobody sees more hiring data than him, and we get into what you should actually be doing for your career, and why every job done the old way is fading.

Tried something today that I think I'm going to turn into a Friday habit... people often comment to me that someone they work with is doing a great job. So... I sent a handful of Teams messages saying "I was catching up with XXXX, and they mentioned that you're doing a great job" and then added some detail. Took me 15 minutes and got some tremendous responses. Made me feel great doing it as well. Give it a try.like 1,843love 455celebrate 191support 54insightful 16funny 3
