The traditional prestige career path in consulting is being undermined by generative artificial intelligence. Firms like McKinsey and BCG are increasingly using AI tools for tasks previously handled by junior analysts, such as data synthesis and report generation. This shift means entry-level roles are becoming more about fact-checking AI outputs rather than developing core analytical skills through hands-on experience.
