AI Will Change 70% of Your Job by 2030: LinkedIn’s CEOO
In this episode, hosts Aashna Doshi & Rayan Dabbagh sit down with Aneesh Raman, LinkedIn’s Chief Economic Opportunity Officer and co-author of Open to Work, to unpack one of the biggest questions of our generation: what happens to work in the age of AI?
From his unconventional career journey spanning war correspondence at CNN, speechwriting for President Obama, startups, public policy, and now LinkedIn leadership, Aneesh shares why the future belongs to adaptable thinkers, curious builders, and people willing to embrace discomfort.
We explore LinkedIn’s unique view into the global labor market, why 70% of job skills are expected to change by 2030, and how AI is reshaping careers, hiring, entrepreneurship, and the very structure of companies themselves.
Along the way, we discuss:
* Why the traditional career ladder is disappearing
* How AI is changing software engineering jobs
* Why storytelling and communication are becoming critical skills
* The rise of creators, founders, and entrepreneurial careers
* Why “the new resume is the work itself”
* How students should think about careers in the AI era
* The future of AI agents, human capability, and work
* Why handling hard things well becomes a superpower
Whether you're a student, founder, software engineer, creator, or someone trying to navigate the future of work, this episode offers a deeply human perspective on how to stay relevant, resilient, and ambitious in the AI era.
