First-year analyst here. My firm recently announced that we’re going to be let go in ~2 months and instructed us to begin seeking other opportunities. It sucks that this is happening in my first year but at least I have some runway.
Any advice on how best to proceed? Just thinking about applying everywhere and blasting out cold emails.

Don't care until you name the bank. Why are all of you like this?
Why can’t you just give advice instead of saying some unhelpful shit. Why are all WSO threads just shitting on the poster instead of actually addressing the question?
No name = no opinion.
Unrelated but why would they tell you 2 months in advance? Isn’t that a huge confidentiality/security concern for both themselves and clients? I’d double check on that…
It’s a unique situation, I’ll PM you
Why do you ******* not publicize your soon-to-be-ex- (or, in the case of cancelled FTs, never-was) banks?
Name and shame
read this thread as about to get laid and was pumped, then read the whole title :(
You’re lucky to get a couple months. I was laid off as a first year analyst late 2022 and it fucking sucked. Really unfortunate to hear it’s happening elsewhere. Took me three months to find another job. Market is pretty bad man best of luck.
