Really? I heard incoming interns just got a pay bump though
Yeah, guess they have to cover the an1/2 raises somehow.
what groups are you hearing layoffs are in? do you know if it's touching cib coverage?

All groups are affected. CIB and other functions. Not directed at any level, heard some An/As/Dir we’re affected. Seems the bank is cutting back in a bunch of areas
Any insight on which areas the bank is scaling back in?
