Is it even worth giving comments anymore?

Was going through the KIH and Key DD areas slides the new AN1 drafted for some marketing materials. After spending 20min writing out constructive comments I just felt so unmotivated since it was all very obviously made by AI probably quicker than it takes for me to review it. I just feel like an AI fact checker at this point

Mistakes are also getting harder to spot since previously analysis juniors made tended to be surface level while now it's very complex and well written analysis sounding just high level enough that it’s hard to catch. But the client probably also understands it's AI so who cares at this point...

Yes because ultimately this is your job as an associate. It's also your job to teach the analysts and check their work.

 

Hi ! I hope things get better for you and im sorry to hear about your frustrations at work!

I’m posting under various discussions in hopes to get advice. I would very much appreciate if you could provide your thoughts!

I have been financially independent since I was 15 years old. Thus, as you can imagine an affording school incredibly difficult. For years I have struggled with housing, food insecurities (I was homeless when I was a teenager).

Now, I have gathered my life up as best as I can. Got a GED, currently enrolled at NYU sps 3.8 GPA in international business and management. The downside? I’m 25 years old with one more semester remaining until graduation. I work FT to afford school and pay for school with my own money so it has taken me a long time to graduate.

I just want honesty, is IB not in my cards? I really want to become an investment banker, even if it means going to grad school (have been looking to apply to Columbia MBA) . I just feel like I’m so old and behind . Would appreciate any advice on next steps, I don’t have anyone to give me advice.
