IB Job security in the current market environment?
Let's talk about job security with the current volatility of the market (specifically groups in IB).
With the war going on in Europe at the moment and inflation spiking, anyone worried about job security (at the analyst level) within the following groups (Industry Groups, M&A, LevFin, Financial Sponsors, Restructuring)?
Should we be worried about a potential recession coming soon?
I don’t think there’s analyst job security issues except at boutiques. Associate, vp and fresh MD most vulnerable
People say that but ik first hand sources who have been laid off in summer 2020 by Baird, HL, Blair, and Jefferies. with Baird laying off a quarter of analysts
Yes - Baird did theres two huge threads on this
Any recent layoffs you've seen or was 2020 the latest?
What was the case at Jefferies?
Don't really care about EBs. Specifically worried about Job security at the analyst levels in BBs/MMs
LevFin might be the safest group to be in right now.
No. It might be tech coverage.
LIBOR is 80bps+. With interest rate hikes and inflation, the market could be gone relatively soon.
LIBOR? Get with the times bro we’re on SOFR now
