The macro headlines are loud — over 1.1 million U.S. layoffs through November 2025, tech cuts near 96,000 in Q1 2026, and AI/ML pay up 9.2% year-over-year at the same time. The Twin Cities story underneath is almost nothing like what's playing out in San Francisco, Austin, or Chicago, and it deserves to be told on its own terms. What follows is what's distinctive to this metro, where the risk actually sits, and where the next decade of value gets created.

The interview is an imperfect process. The interview is not the job—the job is the job. However, the interview is what is used to decide who can and will do the job. Interviewers are evaluating three things:

Experience – Have you done this before?

Chemistry – Will you be a good fit with the team?
