With GS layoffs last week and rumors of MS cuts happening this week, thought it may be helpful to get a larger thread going. Have any of you guys at other banks heard rumors from staffers/internal team members of potential firings? How's sentiment amongst juniors?
At MS/JPM and morale across most groups here seems extremely poor currently...Lots of uncertainty, anger, etc.
