Pulse on the Finance Job Market

Labor Day has passed, so I am curious how everyone is finding the finance job market right now. I’ve started seeing a handful of opportunities pop up here and there, but overall things still seem fairly slow. 

Would be interested to hear from others, associates trying to lateral, analysts looking to move to the buyside, people trying to switch funds, etc.
