A1/A2 RIFs

Posting to see if there are any experienced A1-A2s that were recently laid off from LF / M&A / RX / FSG groups in NYC?

My team may be hiring soon. Happy to connect separately to share additional information.

To whom it may concern - myself and another teammate (who are closely involved with recruiting) have both been previously laid off at earlier stages in our careers, and we are trying to pay it forward.

*Not 100% sure if this is the appropriate place to post this - so apologies in advance otherwise.*
