From my understanding, the mega-funds generally recruit around the same time every year. Anyone know if they've started recruiting yet for Summer 2011?

Is it worthwhile to network with people at these funds, or are all decisions on who to interview made by headhunters?

I'm making it up as I go along.
on a serious note, when do
on a serious note, when do you guys think it's appropriate to bring up your intention to go to pe to your MD so he could potentially go to bat for you and contact the headhunters. I figure it would awkward to talk about it halfway through your first year... would you guys just rather keep it on the dl?
I dont think they go to bat
I dont think they go to bat for you with the headhunters - you do that yourself through meeting them and not being a loser. They can go to bat for you when you get to finals with a firm and they make a call.
Firms you're interviewing
Firms you're interviewing with will call your references and talk about your performance. MDs do not go to bat to headhunters; in the end, it's not them making hiring decisions, it's the PE/HF firms you're interviewing with.
