  1. I think the layoffs go beyond January back into last Fall and late 2008.

    It would be interesting to analyze the data across the firms in terms of:

    – Total number of affected analysts
    – General coverage areas of affected analysts (inform where firms’ services are not profitable or where they are dis-investing resources)

    I hope that those affected are successful in finding their next gig and that all goes smoothly & quickly in the process.

    Cheers,

    Hmm, interesting idea about analyzing the layoffs for what they reveal. Let me take a look at that.

  3. Interesting that in a time of economic hardship one would think that now more then ever Analyst Relations people would be required to extoll the virtues of software solutions and be the credible link between end user and the vendor. Where would one look to see if Analyst firms are hiring?
