Does Anyone Else Feel Like Boutiques are Hiring More Right Now?

The title says it all, but I go to a target, and I have been noticing a lot of boutiques putting out feelers for off-cycle 2023 hiring. This is not limited to just banking either. It seems like lean shops whether its PE/VC/GE/IB are doing this.

It seems weird that as most BB and traditional tech are reducing their workforce, these places are hiring. I am just putting this out there to see if anyone else notices because it could be a possibility that it's all in my head. But if you see it too, why do you think this is the case?
