The premise
Finance careers are restructuring around AI; understanding the shift helps career planning.
What AI does well here
- Recognize entry-level work that's automating (spreadsheet manipulation, basic analysis)
- Develop skills the high-value work still needs (judgment, relationship, complex analysis)
- Build AI fluency as a complement, not a substitute
- Network in the parts of finance growing (private credit, AI ops, fintech)
What AI cannot do
- Predict which specific roles will disappear vs evolve
- Substitute AI skills for finance fundamentals
- Generate the relationships that drive senior finance careers
