6 Jobs You Should Not Take Right Now (Part 1)

“Do not, under any circumstances, take that job.” Everyone’s always telling you what job to take. This week, Suzy and Becoming You Labs chief economist Sania Khan tell you about the six you should think twice about, in a two-part series on the jobs that look good today but may leave you without a life raft tomorrow. With hiring slowing and people clinging to the jobs they have, the temptation to say yes to any offer is real. But some of the most appealing roles come with risks that don’t show up on a resume: jobs where you’re indispensable but can’t prove it, jobs at companies that keep AI out of your hands, and jobs where you’ll take the blame for what AI gets wrong. This week, Suzy and Sania take on the first three jobs, with real examples, current data, and practical ways to protect yourself if you’re already in one of them. You may even have one of these jobs right now. And if you do, there’s still realistic hope. If you know someone who might be in one of these roles, forward them this episode.
