For years, hiring managers looked one thing - your degree. Where you studied. What "brand name" was on your CV.
But that’s changing fast.
A recent #Forbes article argues that AI is making MBAs less valuable. And honestly? I’ve seen it happen to me.
I did my MBA at Imperial College London, and yes - it helped open doors. But every opportunity I’ve had? It wasn’t JUST because of my degree.
🔸 My consulting job? Came from networking with strangers. 🔸 Speaking at universities? Came from the content I built online. 🔸 Building my business? Came from execution, not credentials.
Hiring is shifting.
Companies care less about what’s on paper. They care more about what YOU bring to the table:
🔸 Can you solve real-world problems? 🔸 Can you adapt to new tech? 🔸 Can you think critically beyond what AI generates?
That’s the real currency now. Skills > Degrees.
If you’re job hunting in 2025, here’s my advice: ✅ Stop relying on your degree alone - it’s not enough. ✅ Build real-world skills: communication, leadership, adaptability. ✅ Create proof of work - projects, case studies, personal branding. ✅ Leverage AI, but don’t let it replace your ability to think.
The future of hiring? Proof of work > Pieces of paper. Your degree is a start. What you DO with it is what counts.
