Is lateral hiring still ongoing?

havent seen lots of openings online, and wondering if banks are hiring new peeps for entry level positions at all. side note, coming from non ibd fo position trying to lateral so probably putting me in the bucket for 1st year analyst?

I didn't say there wouldn't be any, just way fewer. HR doesn't really care about analyst capabilities, just overall headcount. If 50%+ of a second year class was gone after bonus, then yes they'd probably hire a couple people but that's not often the case. No point in hiring people who will likely be gone in 1 year anyways in awful market environment where M&A is done 35-40% at every bank per Q1 figures and ECM markets are basically totally dead, and lev fin way down as well. Also, several large banks have already instituted a hiring freeze that pretty much covers all of their IB / capital markets activities so that largely takes them out of market for laterals.
