How do you see the investment banking industry evolving in the next 5–10 years? I am confident that AI will not be able to replace any of us. 0 chance.

AI might assist with data-heavy tasks, but it can’t replace the judgment, relationships, and strategic thinking that come with investment banking. In the next 5–10 years, I think we'll see more tech integration, but human expertise will still be at the heart of deal-making and client management.

Agreed. Will mostly affect junior-level work

AI really should, but boomer MDs will refuse to do anything to optimize WLB and work collaboration. IB will lose out talent and go the way of ER or asset management due to outdated industry standards

A more relevant issue will be outsourcing to cheaper countries like India. It will go the way accounting is right now.

Hi,

I’m approaching YE compensation discussions and was curious to see what folks/the industry are paying for institutional middle-market sales/distribution/business-development roles.

I have experience with traditional long only solutions, real estate (primarily value add funds), and a sector specific hedge fund. Any and all feedback is welcome!

Additional Posts in Investment Banking - IBD

Looking for advice: I have an analyst (9 months on the job) who still doesn’t get it - repeatedly misses comments, doesn’t follow instructions, slow, etc. I have raised this to both my MDs and they seem to be adopting a “not my problem” approach when I mention it. I had advised against hiring this analyst post internship and my MD insisted that all the issues I highlighted were fixable. I have tried teaching him to no avail and frustration with him is growing. Any suggestions for how to handle?

Asking for wife who's also in banking. If she got ~$100k in signing bonus in 2019 for 1 year commitment in CA and started FT in July 2020, assuming she leaves before July 2021, can her employer claw back full amount in California? Some say it's much tougher to do so under CA law but wonder if anyone has any insights. Banks won't likely care about analyst signing bonuses, but associate bonus at EB with diversity bonus can be significant. If she quits before, she won't be going to another bank.
