"NO ONE IS HIRING IN INVESTMENT BANKING"

This seems to be a commonly held misconception across the job market at the moment. However, it is not true. Many of our clients are hiring and are open to building their teams with talented corporate financiers. The key is that they are focussed on recruiting at certain levels and for specific skills sets.
