How safe is LevFin in a downturn?

If layoffs start happening in IB, how safe is LevFin compared to the other coverage/product groups (at the analyst) level? Apart from restructuring, what groups are least likely to be affected (apart from restructuring)? I wake up with anxiety everyday at the thought of massive layoffs happening as I literally have nothing else to fall back on. Goal is to make it to MD and this is my first professional job out of school so I'm kinda panicking every day.
