Just wondering if anyone has noticed any significant slowdown in hiring or potential freezes at CME lately. I've seen some roles that have been open for a while, and my own team's requisitions seem to be moving at a glacial pace. Not seeing any official news or layoff reports, but the internal chatter about budget constraints and 'hiring reviews' seems to be picking up. Is this just standard end-of-year budget tightening, or is anyone else getting the sense that things might be cooling off on the hiring front? Curious to hear what others are observing, especially in different departments. Feels like a weird time in the market and trying to get a pulse on the ground here.

Yeah, I've definitely felt a bit of a slowdown on my end too. My manager mentioned something about a more cautious approach to new hires this quarter, citing a need to optimize existing resources. It’s not a full freeze, but it’s certainly not the rapid expansion we saw last year. Seems like they're being more deliberate with every new position being approved, which I guess makes sense given the market volatility. Definitely keeping an eye on it as well.
