People who had worked in the cyclical Finance industry for a long time, how often did you experience layoffs? Did you or your close colleagues got laid off? How long did it take for you/them to find another similar job? How big was the scale of the layoff? How had the impact of various crises and recessions affected your firm? How cyclical is the finance industry? 

What is your opinion of the layoff in the industry at the moment or the finance industry as a whole e.g. salary, hours, future prospects, bonuses and workload? Any regrets?
