S2.E2.The Disappearance of Junior Roles: Hiring Smarter, Leading AI-Driven Teams with Gerard Pietrykiewicz
In this episode, Aina Alive is joined once again by Gerard Pietrykiewicz to explore one of the most urgent shifts in today’s workforce: the disappearance of junior roles in an AI-driven world.
Sparked by Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke’s internal memo—announcing a hiring freeze for any role AI could handle—this conversation dives into what that actually means for hiring, performance, and team structures.
Together, Aina and Gerard unpack:
How AI is disrupting traditional interview and hiring processes
The rise of AI fluency as a baseline skill—and how to assess it ethically
Why communication and adaptability now outweigh credentials
What happens to career progression when entry-level jobs vanish
The new qualities that define “AI-ready” professionals and teams
Whether you’re a hiring manager, a PMO leader, a volunteer, or just trying to stay relevant in a rapidly changing market—this episode will challenge how you think about value, growth, and human contribution in the age of automation.
