Can someone explain to me the mechanics of PE recruiting for analysts that are currently in banking roles? I heard from others a few months ago that it is the winter after you first start (so you start around July for FT and PE firms start interviews in maybe January). Is this true? They really recruit you 1.5 years in advanced? Can someone explain the whole process in as much detail as possible? Thanks






I think people have posted
I think people have posted that the mechanics are currently changing at the moment. Nobody really knows how megafunds are recruiting going forward.
I talked to an analyst at JP
I talked to an analyst at JP Morgan who said that recruiting for PE/HF started 5 months after his start date
I'm curious don't PE/HF firms
I'm curious don't PE/HF firms want to recruit top bucket analysts? How do PE/HF firms know who the top bucket analysts after 5 months?

Robert Clayton Dean: Why?
Brill: Because you made a phone call.
