Just the way you see it happening with AI now. Companies are rushing to implement AI solutions trying to prove themselves as “innovative”, which success is mainly measured based on how many AI models they have deployed rather than the actual business impact and the value it delivers.

Stop trying to learn every data tool. Master one deeply instead of knowing the basics of a few. Hiring managers would rather see expertise in Tableau than having surface level knowledge of Tableau, Power BI, and Looker combined.

Now, with AI amplifying our decisions, the stakes are even higher. Bad data does not just create embarrassing presentations anymore, it actually drives automated decisions that scale your problems across the entire organization.

The brutal truth is that listing programming languages on a senior level resume actually hurts your candidacy. It gives the signal that you still think like a technical contributor rather than a business leader.

Stop using AI for generic interview questions and practice generic answers.
Use AI to analyze specific challenges your target role faces at that specific company, then show how you solve them.

Are you preparing to answer questions or preparing to solve their problems?

The most expensive mistake is building dashboards nobody asked for. Before automating anything, ask yourself: “Does this actually need to be automated?”. Sometimes the smartest tech solution is no solution at all.

What is the last thing you automated that probably should have stayed manual?

“We need AI because everyone else is doing it” is the new “we need a dashboard if we want digital transformation”

Before automating, ask yourself: Does this actually need to be automated?

I have seen $200k solutions perform worse than spreadsheets that took 2 hours to build.

Uncomfortable truth: Fortune 500 companies run critical processes on Excel spreadsheets.

It is not like they can’t afford better or more expensive tools, but they stick to Excel because it is the right tool for that specific process.

Before automating any process, ask one question: “Does this actually need to be automated?”.

I have seen companies spending hundreds of thousands building solutions that perform worse than the Excel spreadsheets they replaced.

The most sophisticated solution is not always the smartest one.

Once I built a fancy Tableau dashboard for a CFO's “digital transformation” initiative. The #1 feature request after launch? An “Export to Excel” button.

We basically created the most expensive Excel file viewer in the company. Sometimes the best tech solution is not tech solution at all.

Teach is great, until it becomes overkills.

AI integration is not coming to the job market. It is already here. Companies use AI for candidate screening. Smart job seekers use AI for targeting and preparation. The only question is whether you will adapt or get left behind.

With AI making technical execution easier, your value will not be in writing complex SQL queries or building complex data pipelines. Those skills are becoming commoditized.

Your value needs to be in understanding what business problems you are actually trying to solve.
