Low Response Rates to Emails Recently?

FT analyst trying to lateral right now, and it seems like my cold email response rate is abysmal, even worse than when I was recruiting for SA. I get there has been a lot of layoffs recently and there are a bunch of people scrambling for seats, but it seems like no one is even willing to talk to me. I have a good resume and I know my emails are written well (concise, slightly personalized). Anyone else experiencing this?

 

Honestly days have been longer than ever at least at my group, but speaking to friends it seems to be a trend. People likely just don't have the bandwidth to respond to anything right now, would try other avenues of getting interviews or in front of people
