Ice Age of Tech? Breaking into Tech in AI Era
Details
The climate in tech has changed. The paths across it haven’t.
You can still join a corporation, a fast-growing startup, or build your own business. What’s unclear is how each path is shifting, how to get onto it, and how to keep growing once you’re there. The ground is frozen over in places, thin in others, and nobody hands you a map.
This evening, we break the ice. We’ll skip the big-picture talk about AI and the future of work and get practical: which skills you need, which you can drop, and how to build them, so you leave with a clear plan for your next steps.
We’ve gathered practitioners from three different worlds:
- Algonova, an international edtech scale-up active in 90+ countries, building an adaptive learning platform for schools
- curves, a digital production studio working with startups and tech companies worldwide, including AI-native ones. Their co-founder will be with us.
- Nebius, an AI cloud provider
## What we’ll dig into
- How each path is changing: what’s happening to roles, which jobs are melting away, and which new ones are surfacing
- Skills that get you hired now, and the ones you can stop spending time on
- How to build those skills: what to learn, in what order, and how to prove it
- How to get your foot in the door on each path, and what awaits you inside
- How to grow from there, and what that means for your next step
You’ll leave with a clearer plan: which path fits you, what to work on first, and what to stop worrying about.
Time to break the ice.
