Laid off from a top BB (coverage) in January as a (just completed first yr) second year Asso. Still looking. Corp dev roles moves slowly (and reluctantly), tech recruiters keep making useless introductions to companies that just wants to "keep information on file" and IB is dead quiet except a few very selective opportunities but yet wants all the M&A experience in the world. Apologies if I sound frustrated but I am - nothings been working and am losing quite a bit of steam, motivation and hope.
Have you found quality recruiters for your coverage industry?
my cold application / blind submission rate is definitely below 10% for quality companies - it's above that % for companies nobody wants to work at (culture / comp / location)
Send me a private message - We are hiring on my CorpDev team and looking to move quickly if you're interested
in this environment you will need to consider locations/companies considered undesirable
its starting to remind me of 2009 to 2012. people would take any job they could get
Laid off from ok boutique, moved to LMM PE
going through a similar situation, would love to connect and have your advice, could you DM me please?
Laid off in January and have an offer at a LMM shop. Will probably accept and push the start date out as far as possible so I can continue to interview in hopes of a better opportunity presenting itself.
Sorry what's LMM?
Lower middle market, companies with annual revenue btwn $5-$50 million.
Recent fund size

Anyone laid off secure a PE offer?
Just saying, some corporates (mine in particular) looking for people in various corpdev roles.
Asso/VP level
Hiring has been hard from corporates (tough to compete with sky high banking comp these past 2-3 years), i think there are opportunities out there
Laid off in December, took three months but saw 4 offers materialize last week. Two in PE, one at a start up and one at a specialized boutique. Rough market but just keep pushing forward, enjoy severance and something will materialize.
What kind of firm were you coming from?
Mid tier BB coverage
if you were mid-tier BB, you left at the associate 3 level? isnt that hard to move to PE? wondering if the PE funds are your marquee UMM/MF names or you did off cycle
Very much off cycle LMM small shops
Only going to get tougher and tougher for finance this year...
