Will we be replaced by AI???
I’m 39M, working in finance in New York, and honestly, I feel stuck. A few months ago I enrolled in an online program to sharpen my skills, and at first I was energized. But now the coursework feels repetitive and draining, and my motivation has tanked. Without completing it, my long-term plan—possibly pivoting into a grad program in Europe—feels like it’s slipping away.
On top of that, my OCD makes it worse. My mind races to worst-case scenarios: I wake up panicked, convinced I’m falling behind peers, and that my career trajectory is collapsing. The idea of admitting to family—again—that I don’t have a clear next step terrifies me.
For those of you who’ve been through this grind: any stoic wisdom on facing an uncertain future in finance without spiraling?
