Don’t think it will be far different than what we’ve seen in the last few years. Not sure what you mean by headcount of existing 2nd year analysts not decreasing? PE or whatever exit recruitment happened way back. The underlying issue is the virus that is impacting the economy through halting services and manufacturing. It’s not very accurate to compare it to histocrical recessions caused by underlying issues with the financial system and consumer confidence.

 

Thanks but I’m just an incoming SA also lol. Just trying to think rationally hopefully someone more senior can chime in.

 

To add a new perspective to this discussion: looking at past threads on offer rates, it seems to be the consensus that most banks have already “downsized” last summer in terms of offers given out/headcount cuts.

Would it be possible that those moves act as some sort of cushion for what’s happening now? Don’t doubt that offer rates will likely be lower, but maybe not as bad illustrated here. Curious to hear some thoughts of senior people on this forum.
