AI is being pushed into every workplace, layoffs are in the news weekly, and offshoring is easier than it's ever been. So is your 9-5 actually safe? Tash and Ana take an honest look at job security in 2026, and more importantly, how to set yourself up so a redundancy email is an inconvenience rather than a crisis.

In this episode we'll discuss:

💸 Why Ana's answer is a flat "no": engineers building the tech that could replace them, and the what-if conversations happening in her household

💸 The risk that gets less airtime than AI: offshoring, and Tash's honest take after making her first offshore hire

💸 Why neither host is panicking: healthcare fallbacks, trust in a personal brand, and income streams that don't share a single point of failure

💸 The dystopian investor moment: when layoffs at the companies you own push your portfolio up

💸 Practical safeguards: building side income before you need it, staying on a casual employer's books, and the case for two part-time jobs

💸 The graph showing which occupations AI is hitting hardest, which ones are barely touched, and why arts and media hurts to look at

No job has ever been completely safe, and nobody can promise what AI, the economy or the job market will do next. But whether your industry sits at the top of the exposure chart or barely rates a mention, this episode is about giving yourself more levers to pull. Worth a listen before you need it.
