How long before AI causes a slowdown at the Big 4? NEP here that will never have a book large enough book for equity, and I’m feeling nervous that we don’t have more than 5 years till major cuts.

I know partners at our firm are making a big push towards AI because it can do the grunt work that younger associates typically do but I’m wondering when they’ll realize that without the grunt work/training the younger associates won’t know how to do anything….

We're experiencing something similar at my small firm. AI has the possibility to add to this profession, but younger lawyers are already losing out on getting the opportunity to gain trial experience and to make oral arguments in court. I think this is just going to make the situation even worse. It's like we're trying to make ourselves obsolete.

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)
