I am training AI to do my investment analyst job. It's a bet on job security.

I began AI training in 2023, while I was looking for a job that involved some form of equity valuation work. I had a lot of interviews, but no offers. A recruiter had reached out to me on LinkedIn to saying she was looking for experts in finance and economics to teach AI models. I was skeptical at first, but decided to give it a shot.

Stop saying "I hope you land an interview".

It is a really tough time to be mentoring, with massive layoffs and tens of thousands of professionals losing their rice bowls every other fortnight. "How am I going to feed my family? How am I going to pay my mortgage?" "You'll land something soon. Keep going!", echoes the thoughts and well-wishes of those who didn't get laid off. Defeated but trudging along, those laid-off set out to have 6-month plans to get employment.
