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.
