Scott Bok Explains What Investment Bankers Actually Do All Day

Episode description as stored

There's obviously a lot of talk these days about AI and possible destruction of white collar jobs. Intuitively bankers might be expected to be victims of this. But before we can answer whether AI can disrupt an industry, or a line of work, we have to know what the job actually entails. What do investment bankers actually do, and why are they paid for it? To answer this question, we speak with Scott Bok, the longtime former CEO of the investment bank Greenhill. Scott is also the author of the book Surviving Wall Street: A Tale of Triumph , Tragedy, and Timing . We discuss how the industry changed in his career, what type of people thrive in it, and how AI could change the nature of the profession.
