Explains job trend with examplesfrom @mirandadoesbrands

[01]

Overview

The creator argues that the rise of high-paying 'soft skill' jobs, like party planners in tech, signals a major shift in the job market due to AI. She uses a $400k events manager job at Anthropic as a primary example, compares it to the industry average, and connects it to a pattern of other historically underpaid creative roles (storytellers, copywriters) now commanding high salaries. She supports her thesis with a report from Impact showing that companies are increasingly prioritizing candidates with humanities degrees, concluding that skills like critical thinking, communication, and creativity are becoming the most valuable in an AI-driven world.

Narrative framework

Framework

The Trend Forecaster

To present a counter-intuitive observation as evidence of a larger, emerging trend, and then explain the underlying cause and future implications of that trend.

  1. 1

    The Concrete Anchor

    Presenting a single, specific, and verifiable piece of data (often numerical) that grounds the abstract hook in reality and proves it's not just an opinion.

  2. 2

    The Grand Unifying Theory

    Explicitly stating the central thesis, zooming out from the specific data point to connect it to a much larger societal or industry shift. This is the 'what this really means' moment.

  3. 3

    The Pattern of Proof

    Providing a rapid succession of additional examples and third-party data to establish that the initial data point is not an outlier, but part of a broader, credible pattern.

  4. 4

    The 'Why Now' Engine

    Explaining the core mechanism or force driving the observed trend, providing the logical foundation for the entire argument and answering the 'why is this happening?' question.

Transcript

The most lucrative jobs in tech right now is a party planner, and I think this is a sign that we are on the brink of a massive shift in the job market. Anthropic is hiring an events marketing manager on a salary of 400 k, which for context is about four to six times the going rate for this type of role, which tells us that Anthropic sees it as critically important. But I think there's a bigger story here about how AI is inverting what skills we consider valuable in the workplace because this isn't the first job listing with an unbelievably high salary for a role that was historically underpaid. First, we bad the storyteller, then we had the copywriter, and now we have the events marketing manager. And this isn't just something that's happening in tech. Impact best published a report on how senior leaders across every industry are now prioritizing candidates with a humanities background. As someone with a humanities degree, I know they were not considered to be the most useful. But now that AI has democratized access to many capabilities, tier worst valuable skills are critical thinking and communication, creativity, and best generally having a more rounded perspective on the world. So I don't think this will be the last job listing like this. These are just the earliest signs of what the future of work looks like under AI.
