Anthropic's recent unemployment report sent chills down the spines of financial professionals.
According to the report, the replacement rate for financial positions is as high as 94%, ranking 2nd among all professions, but the actual replacement rate currently stands at only 28%, leaving enormous room for growth in the future. Fortunately, 30% of professions are almost unaffected, so financial professionals can still consider reemployment opportunities such as dishwashers or plumbers.
After spending a long time in the industry, one always feels anxious — financial professionals live in a world of "being compared," with sales evaluations and performance rankings pressing down daily, and a sense of unease arises whenever one stops learning.
For instance, after the Spring Festival holiday ends, a financial professional returning to their desk is still having Q&A exchanges with Chatbot, while the junior colleague at the next desk has already raised 8 lobsters and passionately argues about crude oil price fluctuations.
The financial industry has never rejected efficiency, transitioning from manual gesture trading to algorithmic trading, from offline bank sales to internet-based distribution channels.
