trends · interviews

When role mix bars move between years, do not panic or celebrate—get curious.

  2. Did tool adoption change interview tasks?
  3. Are hour bands shifting with economic pressure?
  4. Did AI workflows change how writing samples are judged?
  5. Where is the market thin—could that be an advantage for my zone?

Bring these to a screen as conversation starters, not accusations.
