The writing’s on the wall, guys. Harvey and other AI tools are being rapidly adopted. M&A, finance, etc. will require fewer associates, and it’ll get harder for associates to climb the ladder (you’ll have to prove yourself beyond what an AI can do). Things will look drastically different 8-10 years from now.
