30-something bankers are increasingly stuck working for one firm. “There’s no demand for senior people,” says a veteran debt capital markets headhunter in London. “Getting their buyouts signed off is difficult. Banks won’t swallow the pill.” Another veteran headhunter, who runs a fixed income search boutique, says all hiring now is taking place at junior levels and that senior staff are frustrated as a result: “They don’t have any options. They can’t move – they just have to make the most of life where they are.”
