Did not sound like it from multiple internal updates at my MBB. Leadership mentioned slightly lower recruiting targets and hinted at natural CTL/attrition allowing to adapt for business needs if necessary. No mention or rumor about additional cuts. This will likely vary by office/region, though.

 

Slightly smaller intakes. Maybe 10-20% lower, so competition would likely increase from the sheer number standpoint. I'd add that I expect MBB consulting likely to come out as a desirable/safe job option as a result of this crisis, which would make it more competitive.

 

Not on my end, having seen our internal pipeline it seems like we will have decent utilization for the weeks/months to come. Price could be down a little bit, but still not a huge bench situation.
