IMO consulting is far more at risk of AI than finance. Do you really want to outsource major acquisition or financing decisions to AI?

While AI will disrupt industries we are certainly in a bubble and the efficiency gains are likely not as high as folks think

Please share where Goldman is eliminating classes of IB associates and letting AI construct deals

Yep. Likely back office functions.

At most I can see less analysts. But the job of an associate to be more client facing, guide the analysis into a story for the client etc

Yes no such immediate plans no doubt. But AI in its current form being utilized commercially is only 2 3 years old its a baby lol. When it finishes college maybe then like rest of us

The answer to that is in the rap lyrics" The clothes that you have are never enough, the cars that you drive are never enough and the rings you wear are never enough" 😁 thought cpuld decrease costs without hurting profits probably

Truth be told: over the past two decades, elite B-schools have become a three-lane highway with only a few “approved” exits—consulting, investment banking, and big tech. Far fewer grads head to the old-economy, real-asset arenas—energy & utilities, real estate & construction, healthcare delivery, aviation/aerospace, chemicals, transportation & logistics, manufacturing, CPG, etc.—than they used to. If AI keeps squeezing desk-based work, the center of gravity (and the best roles) may swing back to operations-heavy industries that need on-the-ground leaders.

IB, consulting, and big tech still exist—but the generic “generalist” seat is fading as AI commoditizes broad analysis.
You need to be an expert in a specific industry—its structural problems, demographics/demand, regulation, economics, and workflows.
The era of hopping across sectors to crank out decks, investment memos, or me-too SaaS pitches is over.
Depth and operational fluency now beat breadth and slideware.

If your interest is f IB/Consulting/VC/Product and want to future-proof?
Pick one problem-rich sector (energy, healthcare, logistics, manufacturing) and go deep; build domain proof via internships, field projects, and operator mentors while learning data/AI and core ops systems.
Aim for roles tied to P&L and implementation

investment banker here - our templates are reused over and over again. AI can and will take over junior banker talent. Banks are already starting to run lean and not hire as many bankers because there is so much bloat at the junior level. We are never going to reach 2022 level hiring again.

The days of anybody getting a seat in finance are over. MDs running processes for frivolous fees are over. With AI becoming more and more prevalent, everybody’s expected to produce at all levels.
