Ex-Deloitte Consultant Niklas on Why 'Big Four' Culture Leads to Burnout and How AI Finance Works

Join us for a fascinating conversation with Niklas Bork Bøgh, Senior AI Product Manager at Skill Up Finance (now NewCo). Niklas shares his unique career path from being a semi-professional CS:GO gamer (practicing 12 hours a day for two years!) to an AI product leader in the finance world.

Key discussion points include:

Pro-Gamer to Product Manager: How skills learned as a team leader in high-stakes gaming translate directly to product development and team management.

Consulting Critique: Niklas and Paulina discuss the unsustainable, competitive culture in the "Big Four" firms like Deloitte and the resulting high burnout rates.

The Future of Finance: An in-depth look at building AI-native products in the highly regulated finance industry, focusing on the critical challenge of ensuring trust and reliability when dealing with LLM hallucinations.
