This PE boss now asks AI for midnight help instead of waking up his junior employees

Thoma Bravo founder Orlando Bravo says AI has largely eliminated frantic midnight requests — he can run quick tasks himself, easing juniors' workloads and improving their work-life balance.
He expects entry-level roles to shift from rote tasks to higher-order work, with associates moving faster into relationship-building and investment thinking.
Contrary to fears of AI job cuts, Bravo plans to hire more associates for the first time in his career, viewing the tech as a productivity booster rather than a replacement.
