Lateraling in 2023?

So after looking earlier this week, I realize right now is not the time to lateral. Does anyone have any predictions for when it will pick up again? Maybe Q2?

6 mos in at a MM in M&A and just not happy with the work I’m doing, it’s also probably too early to lateral even if firms were hiring.
