Am I the Only One For Whom the Job Market is Currently Booming?
I've heard recruiters echoing this point to me, but out of nowhere my passive job search has blown up. For the past 16 months it's been crickets but all of the sudden a ton of roles seem to have opened up on both the IB and PE side. I've arranged more interviews, 5, in the past 6 weeks than I have in the preceding 12 months combined probably. Good banks and PE firms too and they're actually moving the processes along towards a quick offer. It's like 2021, we are so back.
Happy hunting gents, it's a feeding frenzy out here.
😔
This has to be bait
Nah, it's been dog shit for the last year and a half but just recently started ripping again. I've seen various IB recruiters posting that right now hiring activity is similar to 2021. I think because there are so many mid / bottom bucket bankers on the market right now it's still an employers market but the amount of openings has multiplied drastically. For a while, NO ONE was getting interviews and there simply weren't spots. Now there are still way too many unemployed bankers, but there are also a ton of openings. So it's not as easy to get a job as 2021 for example, but purely in terms of openings and if you have a top tier background it's a feeding frenzy.
Yep. We're so back

100%, crazy right now
What banks are you seeing openings at? Seems pretty quiet overall besides the hiring at Moelis a month ago
I mean I'm not about to give you a list of firms I'm interviewing at so you can also try and get the job. Some of them have been through HHs, some have been through networking and hearing that jobs are open but there aren't postings, some are regular old postings.
Did you turn down the UMM PE fund offer in Chicago?
