AI replaces the bulk of junior analytical work. You dont need 50 analysts to crunch data when AI can do it in minutes.
The Structure
- Small partner layer (rainmakers)
- Thin specialist layer (AI orchestrators)
- Massive AI infrastructure layer
- 60-70% reduction in entry-level hiring
Whos Betting on This
Deloitte, PwC, EY, KPMG, Accenture — volume-driven firms with AI infrastructure investments.
The Fatal Vulnerability
Where do future partners come from? If youre not hiring juniors, youre not developing the next generation. Talent pipeline crisis becomes visible in 5-10 years.
Best Suited For
High-volume, repeatable work: due diligence, market sizing, compliance, cost programs.
