8 moves your day-to-day already reaches

Each one shares real tasks with your job and sits in a better position against AI: less of the work already automated, or something structural protecting it that your job does not have. The shared tasks are quoted underneath, in both jobs' own words, so you can judge the match rather than trust a score.

Matches come from both careers' own published task lists, not from a similarity score we ask you to trust. A move being listed does not mean an employer will agree: it means the work overlaps and the measurement is better. Retraining routes, if you decide you want one, are on the switch page.
