How is everyone feeling about AI and job security over the next 7–8 years? Recently read that AI could become the “last human invention,” which made me wonder how real that actually feels on the ground. Are you seeing changes at work—automation, shifting roles, or fewer opportunities? Curious how people are preparing for future, especially if you don’t have a side hustle or a skill you’re planning to turn into a business. Are you reskilling, exploring options, or taking wait-and-see approach?

Rising senior here. Interviewed for McK today and my parents (who I’ve tried to explain the importance of these interviews to) burst into my room in the middle asking me to do a task, right in front of the interviewer, and spent a minute arguing with me when I said I couldn’t. Just found out I didn’t move on to the next round and while I’m sure some of it was my performance, hard to not just be absolutely livid with my parents here who still don’t get it. Sorry, just wanted to vent.
