[LDN] Lateral Analyst Job Market - Is It Just Me, Or Is It Shit?

As per the title - without doxxing myself, I was let go back as a 2nd year Analyst in December '22 from a MM bank (WB / HL / Baird / Stifel / Investec) and have been unable to land other interviews for lateral analyst positions. My profile is decent (target uni, good team industry rep), and I have good deal experience (deal values of EUR 100m - EUR 3bn), I have spoken to all head hunters and have good relationships with them.

However, is the lateral analyst market really that shit, in terms of few roles being available at various banks? Is anyone else struggling to find roles?


For people who were let go in recent cuts and have managed to find new roles, how long did it take and how did you secure the new role?
