  + stars: | 2023-09-25 | by ( Dan Defrancesco | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +8 min
As for today's edition, we're looking at how AI could upend the job of the junior banker, and the effect that'll have on Wall Street's traditional career path. AdvertisementAdvertisementAspiring financiers need to look no further than investment banks' analyst programs to get a foot in the door. But this crucial piece of Wall Street's ecosystem could be upended by the rise of artificial intelligence. AdvertisementAdvertisementBuy-side firms have largely held off on going after college graduates, instead pointing them toward banks' analyst programs. Regardless of what direction things go, what's clear is the type of work AI excels at falls directly in junior bankers' wheelhouse.

I still need questions for a future mailbag. As Wall Street grapples with how to deploy AI, the executives overseeing the tech are rising in prominence. Bianca mapped out the 12 executives leading AI strategy at Bank of America, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, and Wells Fargo. Meet the 12 executives leading the AI strategy at the biggest US banks. The bank run on Silicon Valley Bank, which was helped along by social media, has bank executives reconsidering their online presence, Reuters reports.
☆ An outsider's take on finding success on Wall Street
  + stars: | 2023-05-16 | by ( Dan Defrancesco | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
At first glance, Kristofer Baxter doesn't seem like an ideal candidate for offering tips about succeeding on Wall Street. His outside perspective offers a unique look at what it takes to find success on the Street. Too often, people explaining how they found success on Wall Street, or anywhere, amounts to them bragging about how hard they worked. Read more on key lessons from a top engineer at Citadel about finding success. The famous VC firm is going to launch a fund of funds for backing other VCs focused on finding early-stage startups.
☆ Wall Street is empowering its employees to build their own tech tools. But who is keeping track of all this stuff?
  + stars: | 2023-05-08 | by ( Dan Defrancesco | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
A story about training non-tech workers that has nothing to do with ChatGPT? Man Group, a $144 billion investment firm, has a popular training program to get non-tech workers up to speed on coding and data-science. Programs like <develop>, along with the rise of ChatGPT, speak to a wider trend across Wall Street of enabling employees to build their own tools despite not having a background in tech. Empowering people to build their own tools and apps to streamline their work seems great on paper. Read more about how Man Group teaches non-tech workers programming skills that help them save time.
☆ Wall Street's most important workers you've never thought of

And on Wall Street, where the volume of information continues to rise, application design and user interface is taking center stage. User interface and user experience have long been underappreciated in finance, which is ironic considering the public nature of the work. Read more about Citadel X, the $57 billion hedge fund's user experience and interface team. If you're still trying to understand the collapse of yet another regional bank, we've got you covered. The German bank is building out its investment bank as it eyes a potential return of M&A, the Financial Times reports.

☆ More pain for the crypto industry means a chance for startups to pivot
  + stars: | 2023-03-07 | by ( Dan Defrancesco | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +7 min
After an awful 2022 that saw one of the industry's high-profile figures implode, the crypto market is looking for a bounceback. McDermott laid out to Insider's Bianca Chan and Dakin Campbell how tough times for crypto startups mean more realistic valuations and, in some cases, a reevaluation of the business model. Once of the most common critiques I hear about crypto is "It's a solution looking for a problem." The most recent crypto winter could force startups to be a bit more pragmatic about the specific problem they are looking to address. "If you can solve fraud in crypto, you can solve fraud in basically any part of finance," Meier told Insider.
☆ Private equity is finally stepping up its tech game. Here's who is leading the charge.
  + stars: | 2023-02-24 | by ( Dan Defrancesco | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
What's the first thing that pops into your head when you hear the term "private equity?" PE firms do plenty of things quite well (and they are certainly compensated for their work), but their internal tech has never been a top priority. What I find most fascinating about the so-called "digitization" of PE isn't so much the actual tech but the culture. Click here to learn more about the 12 executives helping PE firms get up to speed on cutting-edge tech they can use to source and close deals. Silicon Valley Bank, which is the go-to bank for tech startups, is under pressure amid the market downturn, the Financial Times reported.
☆ Here's who's keeping top payment players like Stripe, PayPal, and Square ahead of the competition
  + stars: | 2023-02-17 | by ( Dan Defrancesco | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
Fun fact Friday: The only letter of the alphabet that doesn't appear in a US state name is "Q." There are plenty of reasons to want to get in (money changes hands A LOT, whether it's between people, companies, or both). This list from Insider's Bianca Chan and Paige Hagy looks at the people pushing top payment companies to stay ahead of the innovation curve. Bianca and Paige spoke to more than a dozen industry insiders to identify executives who are making sure companies like PayPal, Stripe, Apple, and Visa are keeping the competition at bay.

☆ Banks' war against fintechs is a battle they're destined to lose
  + stars: | 2023-01-06 | by ( Dan Defrancesco | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
And while this shouldn't bother banks — they make plenty of money doing what they do best — this is Wall Street. In fact, the face of Wall Street, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon, literally declared war on fintechs on an earnings call in 2021. But, as Insider's Bianca Chan and Reed Alexander recently outlined in a fantastic feature, banks' bid to topple fintechs is hopeless. Whether it's JPMorgan's digital-only bank Finn or, more recently, Goldman Sachs' Marcus, banks' attempt to cosplay as fintechs rarely ends well. Click here to read more about why banks are doomed to keep failing in their fight against fintechs.
☆ Wall Street's most important consultant might be its cloud provider
  + stars: | 2022-11-30 | by ( Dan Defrancesco | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
Insider's Bianca Chan explored this trend with a piece on how cloud providers like AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud are reimagining themselves as business consultants. Many of the biggest cloud providers have stood up teams focused on interfacing with the C-suite to advise them on how a move to the cloud can be an opportunity to overhaul things. It's not hard to see how this could end up being big business for the cloud providers. Cloud providers still have a long way to go to be a real threat to consultants, but there is potential there. Click here to read more about how cloud providers are becoming the new-age consultants for Wall Street.
☆ Wall Street's love language is coding. Here are the ones you need to know.
  + stars: | 2022-11-21 | by ( Dan Defrancesco | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
Insider's Bianca Chan and Carter Johnson dug into the most sought-after coding languages across Wall Street. C++, which was created in 1983, is still a mainstay despite being older than a good chunk of the people using it on Wall Street (and the person writing this newsletter). While that's certainly true, plenty of programming languages have sticking power. Perhaps the best example is COBOL, a 63-year-old programming language still being used today. But what would be a smart decision is reading this story mapping out the top programming languages for a variety of roles and industries across Wall Street.
☆ Private equity is ready to make moves as the economy sours, but its approach to dealmaking might be different than in years past
  + stars: | 2022-11-17 | by ( Dan Defrancesco | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
When the going gets tough, PE gets going. Insider's Casey Sullivan and Rebecca Ungarino examined one segment of Wall Street that is primed to take off despite an economy that has left almost everyone hurting. The big question is where will PE firms look to deploy capital. How long PE firms resist those types of deals still remains to be seen, though. People who left Wall Street for crypto aren't second guessing themselves.
