Is lateral hiring really slow right now?

Hey guys - title says it all. Just wondering if anyone else is dealing with the same issue. Been waiting 3 months after the global head of IBD put my CV in at MS/GS and over a month for BAML/Jefferies/PWP

No idea about all IBs but I did apply for a soft dev role laterally at GS and its been a month for getting "internal approval". I'm stuck at this pre offer stage with hr asking me about expected compensation and all. My referrer also told me that after bonuses a lot of upper management resign and there's a lot of changes which might impact the teams priority for a new hire. Anyway, GL!
