Lateral Market for Experienced Analysts

Figured it would be worth starting a thread to get insight for other AN2+ in the market for lateral opportunities. 

Appears the market continues to be slow with layoffs lingering and banks holding out on hiring until the market visibly picks up. As first-years' bonus season comes to a close, one my expect some open seats from a select group that quit or find new opportunities.

Curious if anyone else has heard of or had the same insights through networking? Any missing color here or updates on activity from recruiters, timing of expected hirings, etc.?
