Economy-related layoffs in PE are extremely rare. If you're at a reputable firm, management fees are extremely sticky/predictable so firms don't have to worry about a cash crunch and often actually try to beef up staffing given potentially more portco work and greater optionality to jump on opportunities.
Thank you!
So would you say pe have greater job security than ib? Or the pe layoffs are less time to macro factors but there are other factors?
