I’m doing a show on LinkedIn Live Th at 3 about this topic. Houston had a decent May in hiring. Not great but the best month since Dec 2022. Most were mids and seniors though. Nothing for 21-23s. Dallas still slow. Austin dead. 0 corporate hires in May in Austin. So things are still very rough for jobs.
The good news! Associates are busy. I’ve talked to close to 10 corporate associates in June and everyone is busy, even CAPM.
So, a few months of associates billing a lot, plus a fed cut in September, could hopefully make for a decent Q4 and a huge Q1. But we’ve been saying that for a year and a half now so time will tell!
Are you seeing the same thing as me? Would love to know!
This sounds right for Houston. I’m in Austin ECVC and it’s not dead but definitely not at the point of hiring new folks anytime soon (this is consistent with what I hear from friends at other Austin shops)
Structured finance is busy.
In CapM in Dallas and slammed

That is the best news I’ve heard in 2024! You made my day! Now post some jobs in CAPM 🙏🏻
Finance in Dallas. Slammed.
Dallas - finance is slammed, Cap M was great this month and M&A is picking up.
M&A Houston - also slammed.

Sorry y’all are slammed but happy to hear things are picking up. Now, we need hiring!
