Superhuman CEO: AI Moved the Career Ladder (Most People Don't See It Yet) | Shishir Mehrotra

Shishir Mehrotra ran product for YouTube, founded Coda, and has sat on Spotify's board for over a decade. He now runs Superhuman, the company behind Grammarly, which 40 million people use every day.In this episode, he reverses the career advice he gave for twenty years — stop trying to be a great executor, start learning to manage. He explains why the best jobs never come through the recruiting funnel, walks through the framework he built at Google for how promotions actually work, and points to the moment mid-career where the rules quietly change and most people panic. He pushes back on the word "replaced," gives away the interview question he used for hundreds of hires until he talked about it publicly too much, and shares what Bill Campbell told him in 2000 that changed how he measures his own success.📩 7 skills that get you promoted —https://siliconvalleygirl.beehiiv.com/p/7-skills-that-make-you-irreplaceable-adc6?utm_source=spotify&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=futureproof-sub&utm_content=7-skills 𝕏 : ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/siliconvalleymm⁠⁠⁠⁠🔗 Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/siliconvalleygirl/⁠⁠⁠⁠💼 LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/marinamogilko⁠⁠⁠⁠📌 My Companies & Products: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://Marinamogilko.co
