Have a question on AI. If AI is so good at what it does… what would be the point of a Big 4? Can’t any small firm take this AI and be just as specialized efficient as a Big 4? Couldn’t it create an explosion of entrepreneurship? More competition ?

Do you think age (or perceived age) factors into promotions or raises? Curious about the typical age that people are promoted to principle, sr. manager, manager, etc, or does the vary by industry?
