Can confirm.

In Denver, just saw large restructuring and several layoffs in my department alone.

Economy is rough.

So raising interest rates and keeping them high seems to be the polar opposite of Quantitative Easing (QE). In fact, QE send to be something done to help the economy such as in 2008-9 and 2020. Hence why, six months ago, most every metric, save inflation, was showing how well the United States' economy was doing. This is even more so when compared to other first world countries.
For better or worse, the last month has shown the economy slowing, if just a bit.

And the answer is: why pay for the milk when you can get it for free. Meaning as Union Jobs have diminished, so to will these jobs. Employers do not want the expense of HR, benefits and the like when they can hire workers from companies who hire talent at lower wages with no benefits. Strap on people. The bread lines are coming back to a workforce near you!

In 20 plus years ears in Telecom, and have laid off three times, most recently with Segra, here in the SE. Two of the previous layoffs happened as a result of two mergers Segra went through, but part of their dr idiom, to include me in their 50 headcount layoff, was certainly my advanced age, or ageism, to put it another way. In 13 months, I STILL haven’t been able to find adequate employment. But, I keep hoping and searching.

Having tough time deciding between IB & Consulting. My thought process: I have a "better" background for IB (TAS/valuation) and with tech layoffs, this might push more potential would-be tech applications to pursue consulting (there by increased competition)? Additionally, you can do IB intern and full time consulting but not vice versa. I prefer consulting, but IB seems like the "safer" option? And if consulting does get hit hard, I would hopefully have a full time IB offer via internship.
