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.
