How is fintech gunning for IBs neck? maybe commercial banking / wealth mgmt neck
I'd flip it the other way round, IB is probably the safer haven from tech. Its much easier to program audit tools than a robot who can take a client out for dinner & drinks
Also, dont think that accounting has a more "stable career path", it gets very political at the top
We are talking about tech here being a threat to fin jobs, not the stability of accounting career vs banking career in general terms
