The "takeover of AI" is being grossly overestimated in my opinion. So many jobs on this site will not see any noticeable affect from AI. And maybe a couple of years down the line analysts and associates might start to use it to look through a 10k or help write up emails. AI will only make the majority of jobs more efficient with humans at the helm. The only job that i read about that will be affected that I think is probably true, is accounting. But that industry has been in trouble for a while...
Idk if this helps but there is already a website where you can simply plug a few numbers into and an entire LBO is created that looks absolutely stunning….
If you can only plug in a few numbers then its probably not a great LBO imo, regardless of how pretty it looks. What makes IB modelling different then other industries is the granularity that we get into.
For years Cap IQ has had a bank merger model and valuation model that spits out results in seconds and it is absolute dogshit. Speed does not equal quality.
maybe cope but I feel there are a lot of assumptions in the technical portions of IB/PE/etc that I don't think AI will ever truly threaten the field. Will it impact it, sure. But I don't think those impacts will extend to job security.
and, technical skills are maybe like 30% of an IB role unless you are in a technical heavy group like M&A, energy, etc.

Plumbing. Blue collar stuff.
Any role where you’re main function is selling/building relationships
Power systems and radio frequency engineers

manual labor, at least until robots are commoditized / low-cost
