Ok, there is still front office hiring going on, there's just not that much of it.

Today it transpires that Nomura has lost a senior FIG banker in London to an unspecified rival, that Nomura is still hiring in the US, that UBS has hired a brand new head of European high yield trading from Credit Suisse, that Morgan Stanley has hired a new head of European securitization., and that Altium Capital has hired two researchers.

Don't assume it's all laughter and joy however. Morgan Stanley analysts have issued a report saying there will be another 600 redundancies at Barclays Capital before the end of the year.
