PE Firms recruiting young bankers? What is your experience?

Hey,

Skimming over dealbook this morning, I read an article about how junior bankers (think 6 months out of college) were being courted by PE funds (the likes of Carlyle, Apollo).

http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2015/02/10/private-equity-firms-in-a-frenzi…

This sounds like a great opportunity for a lot of young bankers, I'm assuming that a lot of this courting is happening at BB IBs, but I am probably wrong.

Curious to hear from others. My opinion does not matter much since I am working at a PE fund in a frontier market, but am curious to gauge the appetite of MFs for young finance professionals.

Have you received any such offers? If so, can you explain the process a bit, and if you are able to disclose, what type of offers have you received?

Cheers!
