Lower revenue, job cuts - who will go ?

Job cuts are coming, with revenues plummeting as deal levels normalize from artificially high levels. Just wondering what the consensus here is - what levels/regions/divisions will feel the brunt of the cuts, and who is safe?

I've had some conversations with senior bankers who said that analysts (which is where I am) are safe because we're cheap (and because our office is rather top heavy). But who really knows.

Those who can, do. Those who can't, post threads about how to do it on WSO.
