Si no entienden nada de lo que está pasando a nivel mundial y regional con la AI y el futuro del trabajo, vayan a @normiesnetwork o normiesnetwork.com, estoy haciendo algo ahora mismo 👀

@patarraya Más allá de la cantidad que emigren, lo notorio es que en promedio ganan más que el propio estadounidense. ¿En qué ves que hay relación para vos entre que emigran pocos en comparación a otros países y que ganan más?

@normiesnetwork Eso es porque emigran muy pocos!

People outside LATAM often underestimate how much of the region’s talent advantage comes from pressure, not comfort. Countries like Argentina combine something unusual: extremely demanding public education systems, high academic standards, and real-world work experience starting very early 👈 A lot of people begin working long before graduation. They learn English because they need it. They freelance, switch industries, survive economic crises, adapt to unstable markets, work remotely for foreign companies, and build careers in environments where nothing feels guaranteed. And that… That creates a very different professional profile! Not just “cheap talent”, you’ll find with unusually high adaptability, autonomy, problem-solving capacity, and tolerance for ambiguity In Argentina 🇦🇷 specifically, even people who never finish university often end up with a stronger academic foundation than fully graduated professionals in many other countries, especially in technical and analytical fields. At the same time, they accumulate years of practical experience much earlier. And now AI is accelerating this even more 🤔 The companies moving fastest are no longer hiring only from the same closed circles in SF, NYC, or London. They’re increasingly looking globally for people who can learn fast, operate independently, communicate across cultures, and adapt as systems change in real time. That’s part of what we study at @normiesnetwork: Not only jobs, not only AI, but how access to opportunity is changing globally 🌎 Who adapts faster, which countries generate resilient talent, how hiring systems evolve, how communities, reputation, distribution, and market signals start mattering as much as credentials. The future of work is becoming less linear, less institutional, and much more asymmetric… And LATAM, especially countries like Argentina, is one of the most interesting places to observe that shift happening in real time 👈

If you’re the founder of a disruptive startup and you are only recruiting in NYC or SF, let me tell you something: your startup is not disruptive at all. If you are building an AI product, this is even worse. You’ll be behind faster than you think, because you’re limiting yourself to the ideas, habits, costs and blind spots of a very small bubble. The world changed, talent is global, intelligence is distributed and ambition is everywhere. Some of the best engineers, operators, designers and growth people today are in places like Buenos Aires, São Paulo, Medellín, Warsaw, Lisbon, Bangalore, Belgrade, Mexico City, Lagos and many more. Not because they couldn’t make it in SF, but because they CHOSE other place to live and work from. There are people building world-class products from apartments, coworkings, family homes, beach towns and cities most VCs couldn’t point to on a map. Meanwhile, some startups still think “top talent” means someone paying absurd rent in Manhattan and taking the subway to a WeWork… 🫠 Come on, guys… that mindset is expensive, lazy and outdated. So, NO, this is NOT only about saving money on salaries 👈 It’s about access to different perspectives. If everyone in your company studied in similar places, lives in similar neighborhoods, reads the same people, goes to the same events and repeats the same references, eventually your product starts thinking like them too. That becomes dangerous very quickly in AI. Because AI products trained only through one cultural lens tend to miss how real users think, buy, trust, communicate and solve problems globally. The next breakout companies won’t just have better models, they’ll have better inputs: better teams, wider context, sharper signals, more real-world understanding. Hiring globally is no longer a “remote perk”, it’s a strategic advantage. And the founders who understand this early will look obvious in hindsight. The ones who don’t will keep wondering why more agile teams with fewer resources keep beating them 😶 If your company wants access to stronger global talent and real market intelligence, or if you’re a professional outside the usual hubs tired of being overlooked, @normiesnetwork Network by @CarryerTech Tech is building for that reality (and, no, I am not trying to sell you anything here, just follow us for more insights and, hopefully, interesting debates)

Tengo un nuevo proyecto. Se llama @normiesnetwork Si no encontrás trabajo y no entendes por qué, seguinos El panorama no es muy alentador, pero al menos vas a entender qué está pasando a nivel mundial Esta imagen explica un poco cómo gente de todas las edades está al horno 😶

@gusdeviaje Agree. For many people it was never a long-term solution, just an emergency valve. Once too many workers enter at the same time, rates drop, conditions worsen, and that path stops absorbing unemployment

@normiesnetwork delivery work or app-based driving isn't the final solution. Here in Argentina the supply is overheated due to increased unemployment by industry destruction and recession. And it happened in only a year. A scenario like this irrevocably will end to grave social conflict

There aren’t that many people being fired and directly replaced by AI yet, but there are a lot of people who can’t get their first job because, once someone retires or resigns, that position gets covered by AI instead of a new employee. Companies usually don’t prefer layoffs (they’re expensive, harsh if the person was performing well, and bad for reputation). What they’re doing instead is not hiring once someone leaves, plus offering generous voluntary exit packages so some employees choose to go. If this continues, the most likely scenario is that people who are under 22 today may never land a first real job. People under 30 may struggle heavily to progress in their careers. Older people who left employment to start businesses, failed, and later try to return to salaried work may find the door closed. There will be more and more people without work (some may never have worked a formal job in their lives), or stuck in low-skill, highly precarious jobs like delivery work or app-based driving. Meanwhile, the best jobs will be concentrated among a small percentage of highly skilled people who understood the timing and positioned themselves early. And that timing is now. Whether you have experience or not, this may be the last real window to position yourself in your field so that when ten people leave a company and they decide to hire only one new person plus implement AI and automation, that one person is you.

There’s this narrative going around that if you didn’t get into tech before 2021/2022, you’re basically locked out. Many say tech became a closed system, that now with AI juniors have no chance, and the people who got in earlier “won” and pulled the ladder behind them. It’s a convenient explanation, but it’s not correct. What actually happened is much simpler: the market got stricter. And this started before ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude. In 2019–2021, companies were hiring fast, often inefficiently, and absorbing a lot of profiles that today wouldn’t pass a first filter. There was more room to learn on the job, more room to be average, more room to figure things out while getting paid. Now that margin is gone. The expectation is to show value earlier. Not potential in the abstract, but something concrete: projects, understanding of tools, ability to execute, ability to communicate. And this is NOT just about juniors. There are plenty of people with years of experience who are struggling to get interviews. Not because opportunities disappeared, but because their profiles didn’t evolve at the same speed as the market 😶 Outdated stacks, no ownership, weak communication, no use of AI tools. All of that gets filtered out much faster now. So framing this as “you missed your chance” avoids the real point. The bar moved. At the same time, something else changed: it has never been easier to build and ship things independently. This is usually either ignored or overhyped, with no in between. You don’t need a company to validate you before you can start creating value. The tools are there, the access is there, the distribution is there. Most of these projects fail, that’s true. Most startups fail. They never generate revenue. But the important shift is this: relying only on a traditional “trainee role” as the entry point is no longer enough in many cases when trying to gain experience. The path is less linear and more demanding, but also more open in different ways. 👉 The real problem is that both candidates and companies are still approaching the market with a 2021 mindset, expecting similar outcomes in a completely different context. This is the layer Normies Network is focused on: what’s actually working between candidates and companies in a more selective market Join us
