Wanted to get some thoughts from anyone who has successfully exited industry to another finance role (Corp Dev, Strategy, similar) recently. Associate level exits would be most interesting.
Hiring market seems difficult. Senior associate at highly regarded (how silly) BB looking to leave.

Brutal from what I can tell, but I've seen some good exits if you have a straightforward / middle fo fairway profile
Thanks. I think my expectations are quite reasonable (Corp Dev, median comp) but seems really bad in general. Actually seems worse than it’s been last few years.
it does seem that way to me too, I still see exits but fewer than usual right now. Not seeing many mandates
Despite the hope heading into '25, seems muted. Is it too much to ask for a quick, miracle turnaround like '20 lol.

Good article and unfortunately not surprising to read. Figured we were at ‘09 levels for some metrics and it looks like the unemployed with BA degree chart spells that out.
Totally different situation in 2020.
Serious concerns about recession / a downturn so I imagine its worse than a year ago. Around this time last year, a former manager landed a similar Corp Strat type of role after getting laid off but it took awhile and I don't think they got a comp bump (never asked but salaries in general are down across the board at most jobs unfortunately)./
