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

The day before yesterday, I was looking at the profiles of founders and team members of Lovable, as well as other companies, e.g. Hubspot, and they all look pretty good.

Lately, I ve been getting offers to help grow LinkedIn profiles from several founders, and I m starting to feel like at least LinkedIn is hype.

Happy new year all.

I'm sure everyone is locked in ready to hit their goals in 2026.
The official launch of The Caffeine Reset is this Sunday - 4th January 2026.
