For context, I am a student in a target MSF program and am considering my options post- graduation. I am curious to get your opinions on where the puck is going with AI.
In your opinion, out of the following, which career paths are most/least susceptible to AI disruption:
-Consulting (strategy)
-IB
-Equity Research
-Corp Dev
-Manager Due Dilligence (pension funds/endowments)
Thanks in advance!
