New management (US) decided to close down my innovative virtual firm. Last week I saw them post a position that was similar to the one that I was in. Difference is that in that position I would pay my own insurance and law society fees, and the kicker — the hourly rate is $35. I suspect that they are using the posting to “prove” that they need to offshore the work.
We were already making extensive use of AI and developing our own tools (dev team also laid off). Where is law going?

What do you mean by where is law going? It's an industry that's notoriously slow to adapt and evolve as a whole.

I think, OP, that it is using AI to outsource the drudgery. It started with Lexis and Westlaw to find cases. (At least I read them—some of these people I see getting sanctioned by courts are basically what is akin to putting a search in Lexis and just citing the first ten cases—but at least they exist. But litigation software has for years done at least the first. It of document review and finds stuff that may be useful for briefs. It’s just getting better at drafting. I don’t see law changing to the point where everything can be outsourced. AI is good at summarizing, good at first drafts and formatting, and I use it all the time. But I don’t think I’m going to be replaced. Now, as a first year way back when in big law, it does do most of the stuff I remember doing to some degree which was horribly boring. But AI isn’t original, and doesn’t replace everything. In my. Jew at least.

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
