The Hidden Job Massacre Coming In 2025 (And How To Be On The Right Side Of It)

Hey there, my friend!

I’m finally back in Tenerife and just like this shift from winter to spring, there's an even bigger change coming that most corporate professionals aren't seeing.

And it's not another "AI will change everything" prediction.

This is about something far more immediate – and far more personal.

See, while most professionals are worrying about the next promotion or bonus season, they're missing what's actually about to reshape their entire career landscape.

Let me explain what I discovered, and why it matters for your future.

Let's dive in.

The Reality Check We All Need

Let me share something real:

When I left my finance career in Singapore, it wasn't because I saw AI coming. I left because despite the six-figure salary and prestigious title, something felt off.

That nagging feeling that despite all my "success," I was building someone else's dream.

But here's what I discovered after stepping away:

The corporate world isn't just changing. It's being completely reimagined.

Here's an uncomfortable truth:

By 2030, up to 41% of all corporate jobs will vanish according to Vice magazine. Not change. Not evolve. Vanish.

And here's the kicker - it's not the entry-level positions that will go first.

It's the six-figure knowledge workers. The analysts. The managers. The project leads.

The exact positions most of us spent years climbing the ladder to reach.

Think about this:

Every morning in Singapore, I'd walk into my office, juggling:

• Back-to-back meetings

• Constant deadlines

• Team coordination

All the things that made me feel "important." All the things that justified my salary.

Yet today, those exact tasks are being automated at a pace nobody expected.

Not in some distant future. Right now.

And this creates two types of professionals:

1. Those who will be replaced

2. Those who will thrive in this new reality

Most six-figure professionals think their biggest risk is a market downturn or a bad bonus year.

But the real risk?

It's staying still while everything changes around you.

I learned this the hard way.

After moving from Singapore to Spain, starting from zero, I discovered something powerful:

The skills that got you to six figures won't get you to freedom.

Think about it:

• The more specialized you become in your corporate role

• The more processes you master

• The more expertise you build in one area

The more vulnerable you actually become.

Why?

Because anything that can be documented can be automated.

But here's the good news:

This massive shift isn't just a threat. It's potentially the biggest opportunity of our generation.

While everyone else is trying to protect their position, you can position yourself for what's next.

The question isn't "Will my job change?"

It's "What do I want my life to look like when it does?"

So what's the move?

Here's what I wish someone had told me back in my corporate days:

The future belongs to two types of people:

1. Those who learn to work with AI - Not just using it. But truly understanding how to leverage it to create value.

2. Those who master what AI can't do

• Building real connections

• Understanding human psychology

• Seeing opportunities others miss

• Creating innovative solutions

Let me be really clear:

This isn't about learning to code. It's not about becoming a tech expert. It's about understanding where the world is going and positioning yourself accordingly.

The path forward isn't about working harder. It's about working differently.

Think about your current role: What parts of it require uniquely human skills? What parts could be automated?

Now here's the million-dollar question:

Where do you want to be when this shift happens?

Still clinging to your corporate identity? Or building something that's truly yours?

Your Next Step:

After experiencing my own transformation from corporate finance to true freedom, I've realized something important:

The best way to create impact isn't just by sharing insights. It's by helping others walk this path.

That's why I've decided to open up a shortlist for something special:

I'm looking for 3 individuals who are ready for real transformation.

Not just career change. Not just making more money. But building a life of true freedom and fulfillment.

If you're:

• Having a great income but feeling trapped

• Successful on paper but craving more

• Ready to build something meaningful

Then this might be for you.

I'm offering free mentorship to three committed individuals who want to navigate this transition the right way.

Why free?

Because I believe sharing experience and knowledge is how we create real impact in the world.

To your freedom,

Stephan
