I found this compelling and insightful thanks!

These hiring needs seem concerningly at odds with the apparent rise anxiety amongst graduate-aged people; I expect anxiety would be non-conducive to having agency and communicating solidly. I think education will need a fast re-orientation towards teaching agency as a skill, much less faith put in passing tests and being OK

Great post! I do, however believe that these soft skills have always been important to the hiring decision. This may be optimistic but I do think, entry level roles will (a) transform for higher levels of complexity and (b) become democratized as the risk to hire a candidate who ins’t there yet ‘technically’ dramatically falls, allowing companies to screen for potential ceiling rather than a minimum floor.
