For those who were laid off and had to take a role outside of IB, what type or role did you switch to and do you plan to return to IB?


I was affected by firmwide layoffs in 2023 and had to take a role outside of IB (still same industry coverage). I’ve recently had several recruiters reach out and questioning whether I should return to IB.
