Salaries
What each role pays, and how durable that pay is
Each salary guide combines the US median and percentile range with PPP-adjusted equivalents across 13 markets, then adds the AI-exposure read, so you see not just the number, but how exposed that pay is as AI reshapes the work. Pick an industry below.
Salary on its own is a lagging signal. A role can pay well today and still sit on top of a routine layer that AI is steadily absorbing, which is why every guide pairs the wage with its AI-exposure read. You see not just what the role earns now, but whether that pay is structurally durable, compressing, or appreciating as the work changes. Use it to compare offers, plan a pivot, or pressure-test whether your field's pay will hold over the next few years.

Is the AI Career Index Accurate?
What accuracy means for a structural career reading, how the AI Career Index is grounded in real labour data, and what it can and cannot tell you.
"I use this with every executive I coach now. The deterministic scoring means we can have a conversation that is not about feelings but about positioning. It is the first tool I have found that lets a senior leader hear uncomfortable news without getting defensive about it. The structure does the work."

"My category label on the index was completely accurate and completely uncomfortable. I had been drifting for two years without realising it. The 6-month plan broke the drift into four specific moves. I am three months in and the difference in the quality of the work I get offered is already visible."

"Finance is supposed to be safe from AI because of regulation. The report pushed back on that complacency by showing which parts of my role were substitutable regardless of sector. That precision is rare in career content. I trust the framework because it refused to tell me what I wanted to hear."
