AI Job Loss Pivot -- FAQ
What are the best career pivots after AI layoff?
Based on BLS data and r/cscareerquestions analysis, the top 5 pivots are: (1) credit repair agency owner (91/100 score), (2) AI agent trainer (82/100), (3) AI-resistant trades like nursing/electrical (73/100), (4) AI consulting (67/100), and (5) content creation (54/100). Credit repair ranks #1 due to low startup cost ($0-$97/mo) and $8K+/mo potential within 90 days.
How fast can I pivot after an AI layoff?
Our simulator generates a 90-day blueprint. Week 1-2: skill audit and market research. Week 3-4: CRC trial setup and first dispute letters. Month 2: first 3 paying clients ($2K/mo). Month 3: scaling to $8K/mo. Fastest pivots are credit repair and AI consulting -- both can generate income within 30 days.
Is credit repair a good business after tech layoff?
Excellent fit. Tech workers have transferable skills (automation, data analysis, CRM) that give a 3x advantage in credit repair. Average agency revenue is $8K-$14K/mo within 6 months. CRC handles all compliance and dispute automation. Plus, your laid-off peers are your first clients -- 4,247 tech layoffs create immediate local demand.
