# Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella Shares Top Tip For Aspiring Techies To Land A Job In AI Era: 'The Path To Being Software Architect Gets Speeded Up'

> Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella advises aspiring tech professionals to master computational thinking to succeed in the AI era. He emphasizes that understanding the fundamentals is crucial, as it allows individuals to effectively utilize AI tools like Microsoft's Copilot. Nadella predicts that AI will speed up the transition from software engineer to software architect, automating routine coding tasks. He highlights the importance of clear instructions and technical expertise in this evolving landscape. Amid AI-driven changes, Microsoft has been cutting jobs, underscoring the need for relevant skills in the tech industry.

**Microsoft** MSFT CEO **Satya Nadella** has offered a crucial piece of advice for those aiming to enter the tech industry amid the increasing influence of artificial intelligence (AI).

**What Happened**: Nadella, a leading figure in the tech world, emphasized the importance of mastering the fundamentals of computational thinking for a successful career in tech during a discussion with tech YouTuber **Sajjaad Khader** that aired on Thursday. This skill, which involves logically breaking down problems and systematically designing solutions, remains essential despite the transformative impact of AI on coding and problem-solving.

Nadella illustrated his point with a personal anecdote, explaining how his understanding of the underlying logic of a SQL query allowed him to effectively guide an AI-powered coding assistant, Microsoft’s Copilot, to resolve a bug. This example highlights the importance of understanding the fundamentals, as it enables individuals to use AI as a tool to enhance their capabilities rather than replace them.

He further predicts that AI will accelerate the transition from software engineer to software architect, democratizing the role by automating much of the coding “drudgery.” However, Nadella stresses that even when using AI for tasks like generating a markdown file, clear instructions are essential, requiring a blend of technical expertise and the ability to think like a systems engineer.

The CEO is enthusiastic that “The path to being that software architect gets speeded up.”

"All of us are going to be more software architects," Nadella anticipates

**Why It Matters**: In a recent conversation with **Meta Platforms** META CEO **Mark Zuckerberg**, Nadella disclosed that AI now writes up to 30% of Microsoft’s code base, marking a significant shift in software development. This underscores the increasing importance of computational thinking, as AI continues to reshape the industry.

Amid the AI-driven growth, Microsoft has been eliminating hundreds of jobs in a bid to position the company for success amid this transformative period. This underscores the need for individuals to equip themselves with the skills necessary to thrive in the AI-driven tech industry, as highlighted by Nadella’s advice.

However, this AI-driven transformation has not been without its challenges. Tech giants like **Amazon** AMZN, Microsoft, **Google** GOOG, and **Shopify** SHOP have been racing to integrate AI, leading to engineers working faster with less thinking time and more pressure than ever. This further emphasizes the need for a strong foundation in computational thinking to navigate the evolving tech landscape.

Microsoft stock rose 0.82% to close at $467.68. On a year-to-date basis, it surged 11.73%, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
