What is the degree of automation that the finance vertical is witnessing? Is this going to impact job availability in the future?

If you want to pursue a lucrative career in finance, do it. They cant automate your field without knowledge of your field. With that being said, people who know the most about your field (I. e. you, after an education) will be in the best possible position to automate it. You know what would be even more rad than making a ton of money? It is doing financial advisory work and getting paid for it. Automation leaves plenty of opportunity for money to be made by human beings, but it certainly narrows the window a bit. With finance specifically, you should also remind yourself that there is an entire world that is trying to make money. There will always be some country that needs a few good financial advisors.

Hi, I think about things like this ALL the time. Currently, I am pursuing a career in automation. I love writing code, I love solving problems, I am terrible in maths but, still I love it. If you want to pursue a lucrative career in finance, do it. They can’t automate your field without knowledge of your field. With that being said, people who know the most about your field (i.e. you, after an education) will be in the best possible position to automate it. You know what would be even more rad than making a ton of money? It is doing financial advisory work and getting paid for it. Automation leaves plenty of opportunity for money to be made by human beings, but it certainly narrows the window a bit. With finance specifically, you should also remind yourself that there is an entire world that is trying to make money. There will always be some country that needs a few good financial advisors. You should do it, if you are really interested in finance and want to learn about how it all works. And, yet have the breadth-of-vision to realize, that automation might play a part in the future. This reason is enough to pursue this course. Best of luck.

Automation has recently been the talking affair with invention of artificial intelligent and machine learning which has produced cost savings in financial industry. The degree of automation soon shall shoot up exponentially and would almost replace mundane jobs like BPO, accounting, telesales, back office and data entry. Although this would create more leadership and management positions to manage the automation and thus offset the job loss. The transition would be difficult, but would eventually create whiter collar top class opportunities with ample of salary and perks. The scope would further widen against job reduction and would create more digital job opportunity with skills like Digital marketing, Analytics, Leadership, People management, Team Building, etc. This kind of automation would be regarded as blessing in disguise and coined as 4th industrial revolution.
