Recent trends in investment banking - automation and significant reduction in head count by all players. Watch out, since the curve for this profession was a steep rise, usually followed by steep correction. Jobs that are too costly tend to be targetted for cost reduction and stream lining.

The world of finance is getting ready for revolutionary change.

Any views on this emerging trend?

To get to the core of it. Insurance agent ~ financial planner
Broker ~ investment banker

New labels for age old jobs?
