Hi fishes, what are the chances of Pwc AC bangalore rescinding an offer given the current market condition? The role in my offer letter seems to be pretty generic and during interviews, it didn't look like, they were interviewing for a particular project or team. I have doubts specifically because of HR's behaviour during the whole recruitment process where they never responded to my emails or calls. Is this normal practice?

AI is not changing my plans at all, as I had planned to retire next year and still intend to do so.
No change, but slightly more motivated to get there earlier. I work in a complex area of tax and don’t see AI as a real threat, I think it will enable me to do more.
I’m sure AI will affect the economy in more ways than I realize, but I don’t know when or what I can really do now to set myself up better, other than reach FI earlier.
I was planning on leaving my job in the next year or two (age 45) with the assumption that I could pick up work if needed later. But this seems to be an inflection point, and because AI will drastically change the way we practice law, I don’t want to fall behind. Or, AI will make my job obsolete and I won’t have a job I can do. So I’m planning to stick it out a bit longer—try to stay ahead of the curve as needed and also accumulate a bit more cushion in case the future is one with a lot less job security.
I think it depends on where you add value. AI tools have done an incredible job at parsing data, drafting motions (yes really), and brainstorming strategy. Of course it all needs to be checked thoroughly but it will get better and better. Still plenty of work to do now, but the way we practice will look very different in 3-5 years.
Bull case for AI means the SP500 10% returns are a thing of the past and 20-30% returns may be coming. If that were to happen the 4% rule could be replaced with a 8-12% rule and I could retire today.
Unfortunately I'm not as optimistic about AI as most so I'm still planning with the 4% rule

After losing my 30s investing gains to the"lost decade", I would never be comfortable counting on the market being way outside of historical ranges for a long period of time. There is no 'new normal'. When PCs came out, and again when the internet became popular, we saw predictions that growth was forever changed and 'this time it is different'. It wasn't.
Concerned in the near term that it's overhyped and could be a contributing factor to a 50% downturn
