The insight I wish I’d had at university.
When I was at university, there were so many careers I was curious about, but I didn’t have the time, connections or resources to explore them all. I could read a job description, but it was much harder to imagine what doing the job would actually feel like.
More than a decade later, the career landscape looks different—and AI is changing how people work again. That makes understanding a career more important than knowing its title.
But one thing I still believe in is the value of first-hand experience. AI can help explain a role. It cannot tell you what it personally felt like to do the work.
That’s why I created Career Insight. Every profile begins with a real conversation with someone doing the job: what fills their day, what excites them, what frustrates them, and what they wish they’d known before starting. Some choose to remain anonymous; their experiences still deserve to be heard.
We use AI to help bring these stories to life, while making clear what comes from an interview, external research or a fictional illustration.
I hope you leave with a clearer picture, a better question—or a career you hadn’t thought to explore.
