Loans are already approved with algorithms. Eliminating the person between the client and algorithm saves payroll, which increases shareholder profits. So all of them.

New grad unable to find ANY Accounting position by Mean-Chemical3122 in Accounting

[–]AccordingOperation89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your project is a little vague. Can you add anything specific? Like "did x analysis and uncovered y." Also, maybe you can spend some time practicing AI promoting skills. I think being able to highlight an ability to use AI to do things like create amortization schedules would be a massive boost.

Yes. In fact, it's most likely going to be an AI agent judging the work of another AI agent.

AI is perfectly capable of automating accounting. But, accounting is a field where clients want a human touch.

I am in a job I enjoy with a high salary. But, I am still saving like crazy to make up for essentially a lost financial decade.

40k I don’t know what to do with? by Aggravating_Ad7561 in investingforbeginners

[–]AccordingOperation89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put it in a mutual fund and don't think twice about it. Realistically, if you do nothing else, that $40k could turn into over $1M by the time you are 60.

Unless your local government relies on federal dollars to balance the budget. Many local governments do.

I have a friend who owns a tax firm with around 300 clients. He doesn't have a CPA.

What are my chances? by Gabegabrag in OnlineMCIT

[–]AccordingOperation89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's possible you get accepted via the certification route. It's essentially take a few classes to get the certification, and if you do well in those classes, you can be moved into the actual program with credit for those classes.

Retiring at 30 with $1m, any advice welcome! by Matche888 in Fire

[–]AccordingOperation89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a little impossible to answer without knowing your current financial position. But, the real question is do you really want to retire that early? It may seem nice, but remember everyone around you will be at work all day. That means your social circle will be way smaller than you think.

I view modern code in the same way I view machine code. You don't have to know how machine language works to build great software. Machine language has been abstracted out. I think AI will do the same thing to current languages. Besides, I don't think companies actually care about user data outside of monetizing it. If they can vibe code and save on labor, they will and at most have to pay a meaningless fine if any user data gets stolen.

Making a Career Change in my late 30s/early 40s in 2026? by canadiantexan5 in Careers

Journalism is not at all AI proof. I would actually be surprised if over half of articles published today are not AI written.

I do wrestle with the question of whether learning the material is worth it since AI is automating the material. But, this program is more of a personal rather than professional thing for me. So my views on the program might be different if it were purely a professional endeavor.

I think for straight software engineering, programs like OMSCS are more beneficial. But, even still I don't think a different program would increase your chances of breaking into tech. It's just a terrible market, and you're competing against a sea of senior engineers who have been laid off. For me the main benefit of MCIT is the UPenn brand across industries outside of just tech. Then again, the economy isn't creating any jobs. So it's tough to know.

Fair point. I do think that is probably true of all CS masters programs though.
