The Harrison Rush/Fire Drill Weekly Wrap-Up

A Brief, Reliable, Rundown of the Investment Banking Recruiting Market.

MARKET UPDATE

The recruiting market is slowing in the near term due to the approaching Thanksgiving holiday. A select few banks are also implementing layoffs. Fourth-quarter layoffs are not uncommon, even in the frothiest of markets. Banks traditionally like to trim staff before bonus season.

Over the long term, we expect the lateral recruiting market to pick up. An increase in M&A activity will increase open job requisitions. HR departments are busy figuring out headcount needs and staff allocation. Investment Bankers should be sure they are on the best platform possible to take advantage of the coming M&A wave.
