  'By the time you finish, AI will be gone': Google AI Veteran explains why you should rethink PhDs and other slow degrees While Silicon Valley showers multimillion-dollar offers on AI talent, not everyone is buying into the hype. Jad Tarifi, the mind behind Google’s first generative AI team, has a blunt message for ambitious students: think twice before chasing a PhD just to ride the AI wave. Speaking to Business Insider, Tarifi delivered a reality check that might ruffle some feathers. “AI itself is going to be gone by the time you finish a PhD. Even things like applying AI to robotics will be solved by then. So either get into something niche, like AI for biology, which is still in its infancy, or just don’t get into anything at all,” he said. Despite holding a PhD in AI from the University of Florida, Tarifi does not glamorise the path. He describes it as a pursuit best left to the “weird people” willing to trade five years of their life for “a lot of pain.” His advice is c...

A strange stillness that settles in late at night, when your resume looks perfect, but your purpose feels misplaced. It's not a breakdown—it’s a reckoning. And in that quiet, you're not alone. Centuries ago, on a battlefield not unlike our modern inner wars, stood a warrior torn between duty and doubt. Arjuna wasn’t confused about his skill—he was confused about his  reason . And Krishna didn’t hand him a map. He asked him to look deeper than victory, beyond fear, beneath identity. This wasn’t just a myth. It was a masterclass in self-awareness, decision-making, and courage. Because the truth is—every career choice, every fork in the road, is its own little Kurukshetra. And maybe what we need today is not more opinions, but echoes of that ancient clarity. 1. Begin with Self-Knowledge, Not Job Titles Job Interview Krishna reminded Arjuna of his innate identity—a warrior not by chance but by nature. The essence of this teaching lies in discovering your inner architecture before m...

  'Medical field is overrated': Topper doctor at 30 compares his career graph with 'average' engineer friend earning three times A social media post comparing the engineering and medical professions has ignited a debate on social media. A Reddit post by a doctor has sparked a wide debate on social media about whether medicine, long regarded as one of the most respected and stable career choices in India, still offers the same rewards as engineering and corporate jobs. The author compared his own life path as a top-ranking medical student with that of his school friend, who was considered average in academics and went on to become an engineer. Their career journeys, incomes, and lifestyles, he wrote, turned out very different by the age of 30, raising questions on whether the sacrifices made in the medical field are worth it anymore. Engineering vs Medical: The comparison of two classmates The post narrates the life journey of two school friends. One chose medicine after...

  'No jobs for these techies': US’s top job site reveals which tech roles are dying and which are in demand Once the fastest-growing sector, the technology industry is now undergoing a major shift marked by layoffs and hiring freezes. America’s biggest job platform, Indeed, has issued a cautionary note: not all tech jobs are equally valuable in today’s market. According to a recent Indeed study, overall tech job postings have seen a steep decline. While AI and machine learning positions remain in strong demand, traditional and entry-level roles are rapidly cooling off. Brendon Bernard, senior economist at Indeed, noted that many positions are “losing steam,” urging job seekers to rethink their career strategies. The warning comes as companies increasingly prioritize efficiency, automation, and AI integration over labor-intensive development roles. Tech Jobs on the Decline Indeed flagged several positions that are no longer “hot” in the job market: Front-End Web Developers: Dema...

  AI will replace most humans, but then what? Is technology more job augmenting or job replacing? This has been a long-standing debate. But recent academic work suggests that technology has been a net destroyer of jobs for decades. Artificial intelligence and robotics could rapidly accelerate this trend, with significant implications for inflation, the size of government and U.S.-China relations. Over the long arc of history, technological advances have enabled industries to emerge, as workers, released from "older" jobs by machines, have been able to transition into newer ones. Indeed, 60% of workers today are employed in occupations that did not exist in 1940, or 74 percent if we consider just the professional category, which added the most workers during the past eight decades. However, recent academic research suggests we may have reached an inflection point in the U.S., whereby technology is now destroying more jobs than it is creating. David Autor, an economist at MIT a...

  “Put yourself in uncomfortable situations,” says Google CEO Sundar Pichai: 8 important career lessons that professionals must learn Corporate boardrooms rarely produce leaders who combine quiet humility with the sharp strategic acumen needed to steer a $2.3 trillion enterprise. Sundar Pichai is one of those rare and remarkable exceptions. His ascent from a product manager’s desk in 2004 to the CEO’s chair at Google is not a story of brash, impulsive manoeuvres, but of measured choices, deliberate growth, and an unyielding focus on people and innovation. At 52, with a personal fortune of $1.1 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Pichai stands as proof that leadership excellence is not defined by volume or theatrics, but by clarity of vision and consistency of execution. In a candid exchange with Lex Fridman, American Computer Scientist and podcaster, he offered a distilled set of principles, drawn from two decades at the helm of one of the world’s most influenti...
