Am I screwed after PIP?
Just was placed on a PIP, is this the new soft and quiet RIF? Lateral and overall job market sucks right now, do I try and claw back into their good graces or jump ship?

Do what you need to do to survive until you can lateral.
If you're on a PIP it's usually a step in making someone redundant / firing them.
Jump before you are pushed.
There is a chance that person could get severance, but yes they should start looking for a new job immediately
Any update on what happened here?
If you’re on a PIP you have to bounce. Even in the very very slim chance you survive, you’re reputation is shot and you won’t be given any work of importance.
Start looking for new stuff
Short answer: yes
Start looking for another position
I've never seen anyone go on a PIP and survive
Would you get severance with PIPs?
100% agree with the above comments. Once you are placed on PIP you need to find a new job ASAP.
I've seen people get placed on PIP before, a lot of times for legitimate reasons, but it's near impossible to bounce back. The reason is people will be overly critical of your work and point out mistakes. You will have to put in tremendous effort over a long period of time to change people's perception of you and it is just a lot easier to move to a new firm and start fresh.
Update: got off it and was top bucket… more confused than ever
Congratulations! Did they say why you’re being placed on a PIP and how did you get off it?
What was the specific feedback you got?
Initially when I was put on it they said communication. Honestly think there was a disconnect between back office and the team. They took me off after 3 weeks
congrats - in my decade plus career (didn't start in banking), this is the first time I've ever heard of this. likely it was a particular person on the team who was pushing for you to get a PIP but they somehow lost credibility and you won.
In my 2 years I've only seen 2 juniors who were put on PIP. They all left the firm (probably fired)
