LinkedIn officially shared the job titles that started appearing more often, and with the rise of AI, the market is restructuring.

The actual top 10 roles that have seen the biggest rise in listings (in the U.S.) are:

1. AI engineers Engineers developing and implementing AI models that perform complex tasks

2. AI consultants and strategists - Helping organisations plan and implement AI technologies to improve operations

3. New home sales specialists Which sounds like a rebranding or real estate agent

4. Data annotators Labelling and reviewing data for AI projects

5. AI/ML researchers Designing new AI models and systems

6. Healthcare reimbursement specialists Ensuring healthcare providers are getting correct and timely payments

7. Strategic advisors and independent consultants Which seems like a pretty broad-ranging segment

8. Advertising sales specialists You re reading a marketing blog, I assume you know this one

9. Founders Not sure this can be listed as a job title in itself, but LinkedIn s keen to highlight how people are shifting to their own businesses

10. Sales executives

Since I haven't been able to meet my work goals very well in the last few quarters, I now plan to approach them more systematically and not push myself too hard on work goals, as that ultimately led to problems that made my plan less sustainable.

So here is my structure and list:

365 days is more than enough time to get burned, mess things up, and (most importantly) learn some hard lessons.

My biggest wake-up call this year was neglecting my health until it completely derailed my business I had to turn down collabs, miss conferences, meetups, and a ton of opportunities.

I have to admit I m a tragedy when it comes to being first at trying new technology or so which means I ve fallen for more scams and shady situations than I d like to count.

(At least I can warn my friends and family before they make the same mistakes, so that's the only advantage.)

I decided to share some best practices I regret not doing sooner:

I bet you learned and experienced a ton over the past 365 days. All those lessons are pure gold you can carry into the future, especially into 2026.

So, what s the single most valuable piece of business advice you would give your 2026 self right now?

Everyone has their favourite routine to perform at their best.

Some are advocates for the Pomodoro technique (25 minutes of intensive work, with a 5-minute short break), others love time-blocking, a few plan the entire week on Sunday, and there are even people who say ice-cold showers la Wim Hof help them focus.

I'm probably an odd-one-out user on this platform.

My day job is being the founder of a sustainability tech startup that has less to do with software and more to do with nano-materials and fighting plastic pollution in my home country. The reason I do this is because I truly care for the environment and had always dreamed of using my technical skills one day to save the planet (before I embark on my next dream of traveling through the infinity of space ).

I often get asked why someone's forum was rejected.

First of all, I need to clarify that I m not an internal member of the Product Hunt team, so I do not influence these decisions.

A tagline is the first piece of content a user will see about your product on the leaderboard. It's so important that you get it right. You should be able to get a really solid idea of what your product is just by reading a handful of words.

In the spirit of forever optimising our taglines, I wanted to do a little experiment:

Some of you set resolutions for this year, and soon you ll be looking back to see how well you did.

Before that moment comes, what do you want to finish or achieve in this final month?
