A monthly read on who is hiring, who is moving, and what it pays in finance. Researched like a desk note, written to be read in five minutes. No fluff, no press releases.
Who is hiring, who is cutting, and where the seats are opening, from the bulge bracket to the boutiques and independents.
The senior moves worth knowing, named and dated, along with the launches and closures that create seats or erase them.
What seats are actually paying and how it is trending, with the full analyst-to-MD table whenever the data refreshes. The number candidates and the people hiring them both want to see.
The month's market backdrop in a handful of numbers, each one tied back to what it means for hiring, from AI in the junior ranks to the lateral windows worth timing.
“We sit between the people making the moves and the firms making the hires. This is what we see.”
The Brief is written from the desk at Ledgend Group by founder Matt Stevens, with talent coverage from Collin Wohlfert, Head of Talent Coverage. Ledgend is a boutique executive search firm placing senior talent across investment banking, private equity, asset management, and equity research.
