PE analyst On-Cycle?
Incoming PE analyst at a firm w latest fund size of 3B in NYC, is it possible to go on cycle to move to the UMM space? Or will UMM PE firms only want IB analysts for on cycle and maybe give me a shot in off cycle? I feel very prepped and was at top BB group (ex.GS TMT/MS M&A) for junior summer but didn't get the return b/c staffer found out I was recruiting for PE FT
No. You have zero chance. Your best exit is working at a regional mall in Dakota. I'm being sarcastic if you can't tell...These posts just make no sense...
You got into PE out of undergrad, which is very impressive. Just find the headhunters you need to go through and reach out to them yourself. Maybe they won't reach out to you because you're already on the buyside, but they will happily talk to you if you reach out yourself if you want to go through on-cycle.
