The thesis
AI is not erasing every tech job, it is splitting the field. By 2030, mid-level roles in most tech functions move into AI-review and AI-supervision work. The top 10% of three categories, elite enterprise tech sales, AI and cybersecurity engineers and operators, and a leaner C-suite, get paid more instead. DecipherU is built for those three.
Survivor 01
Elite enterprise sales
Top 10% AEs closing $1M+ AI and cybersecurity deals.
Sell AI and cybersecurity →Survivor 02
AI and cybersecurity operators
Engineers who debug production AI and run AI-augmented SOCs.
Build and defend production systems →Survivor 03
Very lean C-suite
AI product, AI governance, CISO. Liability requires a name.
Lead AI product, governance, risk →Within the tech sector. A fourth tech category (frontier researchers, originator-founders) and resilient categories outside tech (skilled trades, licensed healthcare) are not what DecipherU serves. Read the full scope →
