Thoughts on FinTech?

Hey all,

A brief intro - I'm a junior with a respectable S&T internship in NYC this summer (non-BB but respectable nonetheless). I've been thinking a lot about my future aspirations - I've wanted a BB IB gig since I first was exposed to the banking world during the fall of my sophomore year. However, with the downsizing of headcount across front office functions and the heavy automation of banking (mostly S&T operations now but IB to come?), I'm curious as to whether it is in my best interest to try to pursue some sort of line of service that involves and automated aspect of finance (i.e. dark pool, agency broker-dealer, etc.)

If anyone has any thoughts on the matter I'd love to kick around a few ideas.

Thanks and be well!

JF
