When will job postings pickup?

Currently a senior associate looking for similar or VP role in asset management in NYC. When do we expect job postings to pickup? I was anxiously hoping for today, but have not seen much.

I'll be honest. This is the norm now. Most of the positions that are out there are just debt AM which most on this board would find dull. Theres very very limited positions on the equity side. Might be a few AM positions on that side, but nothing on Acq. I ended up becoming good friends with recruiter focused on RE. He told me people are even leaving the industry to pursue other fields. 2015-2022 was really a one off period and cant really be considered the average.

 

I am seeing the same thing, tons of credit roles but it's been slim pickings on the equity side, especially acquisition-type roles. Hopefully, it'll pick up here soon.

I don't think job postings are going to pick up.  This is going to be the run rate for the foreseeable future.

You're more likely to succeed through aggressive networking.
