How can you future proof your career if you work in transformation? Given the rate of change in technology today it seems like it’s very easy to get left behind from one stage of transformation to the next

Hello Kimberley Roe. I am a student looking for a job. Can you let me know how I can stand out in this area please? Are students able to work in change and tranformation or is there a different job you start out in?

Hi Kimberley.

I want to ask: do you think the rise of AI will shift the balance of power from the front office to the back office? Will technologists powered by AI replace bankers importance? Or will it go the other way; AI-powered bankers will replace technologists?

Hi everyone! :waving_hand:

I’m currently starting my career in AI/ML and Python and would love to hear some advice from people who have already been through this stage.

I have a background in AI/ML and some hands-on experience with Python, Machine Learning, SQL, Flask, and related projects.

For someone just starting out, what would you recommend focusing on most to build a strong career?

Should I focus more on improving my technical skills, building better projects, getting internships, networking, or something else?

Also, what do you wish you had known when you were starting your own career?

Would really appreciate any honest advice or lessons from your experience! :blush:

My background is in content, thought leadership and strategic communications, and more recently I’ve been working extensively with AI. If I wanted to make a lateral move into banking, applying those same skills to a banking environment rather than starting again from scratch, where would you see the strongest demand today, and what would make a candidate like me stand out?

Hi Kimberley!

Just curious but how do you see AI impacting tech team sizes. I’m sure budgets will stabilise (probably upwards), but do you think there is a serious long-term impact on team sizes?
