Seems like in the past few months activity has just generally gone down. IB and PE are undoubtedly good jobs but now with AI + tech flourishing, it seems like everyone has shifted their attention elsewhere. Seems like AI is a generational shift in work, and I'm curious how this'll affect the perception of a finance career.

Looking forward to AI eliminating this industry so I dont have to see another one of these posts again
Still best early training ground (in addition to consulting) for the investing, corporate finance, and management career track imo. Good bankers and PE professionals will continue to do really well but those industries are all highly institutionalized.
have you looked into an alternative career in Law? : )
