What happened to this bowl? There used to be a ton of engagement and I feel like it fell off a cliff a couple months ago

M&A was suffering for the past year. Most people probably didn’t have much work and also understood that it would be difficult to move around with the tough job market. Without work to generate discussion topics and networking being done for laterals, the bowl went quiet. I believe that things are about to start picking up again next year

You're right OP, there did used to be a lot more engagement in here. I hadn't noticed until I read this because I am in so many groups but I do hope engagement goes up again in here.
