2025 Layoffs...

Uh - its that time of year. Just got back from the holidays and hearing some whispers of layoffs in the street. 

Blackrock just announced one but no shocker given how they have expanded the last year but what about GS, MS and the EB's....

Curious what you lads think.

Cheers

Going to be team-dependent. Some groups drastically underperformed expectations, and I would expect a lot of layoffs there especially since their budget is already taken up with so much guaranteed comp for seniors. 

 

Ad quis tempora ea esse ut nihil enim. Minima aut aut aut quam qui. Blanditiis dolorem eligendi quia eum. Recusandae enim vero quia sapiente perferendis et est. Saepe ab ad repudiandae nulla repudiandae quo fugit.
