AI Career Index vs LinkedIn Career Explorer
Career Explorer shows you where to move. The AI Career Index tells you whether the move is structurally defensible. Different questions, complementary answers.
LinkedIn Career Explorer maps adjacency. Given your current role, it surfaces other roles your skills overlap with, the gap you would need to close, and real LinkedIn member data about how that transition has played out for others. It is a useful tool for exploring the possibility space.
The AI Career Index answers a different question: how structurally exposed is your current role, and what specific reshape would move you into a durable position. It does not tell you what role to move to. It tells you whether the role you are in or considering is structurally insulated or compressing.
