Lina Khan will be gone, and finance will continue to be a lucrative career, but I think the golden days of PE and IB are over. JD Vance will be the frontrunner after Trump, and he's been pretty open about supporting anti-trust. It doesn't look like the Democrats are any more pro-business. I think this country is facing an anti-monopoly movement in its infancy that's only going to get more popular as time goes on.
