Am I more or less likely to be laid off if the economy tanks even more if I just started as an analyst two months ago

There are two schools of thought. First, it's that the most recently hired is the first to be cut. The second is that those making the most money are the ones on the chopping block. Hopefully, in your case, it's the latter (or, ideally, no layoffs at all). Best of luck to you!

Revenue producers stick around.
The grunts doing the work are still needed to either a) service existing clients or b) process pitch books for me.

The VP’s and Directors without their own business get kicked in the teeth and thrown out the door - fewer deals to process means fewer mid-level guys necessary.

@MD1. Aight bet! Thank you sir

I think this depends more on the company you are working for and your own aptitude.

One of the worst double standards in corporate america.

Companies especially startups expect you to not keep interviewing when you accept a job offer. “It can deteroriate your brand.”

But companies would replace you in a heartbeat for almost any reason. Including interviewing a candidate who will replace you (you will be fired as soon as they find a person).

So companies can fuck with the little guys but we can’t look for our best interest?

Additional Posts in Investment Banking - IBD

I can really use some direction. My background, I've worked 2 years in strategy and am currently coming off an exhausting year 2 in investment banking. I didn't particularly enjoy either role and am not interested in moving over to the buy-side or some monotonous FP&A role. Everybody says there's exit-ops aplenty, but I find myself with less options and even more picky than I did as an ambitious T2 undergrad student. Where do I go from here?
