Private Equity Recruiting Season

Hi all,

I saw this post from Dealbook this morning (link inside the post). Nothing really new here compared to years past. How is everyone doing managing their interview schedules? I'm very curious to hear how people negotiate positions that won't be starting until summer 2016 as well. Any success stories in the making from the forums?

Also, a nice plug for WSO by the man himself towards the end!

Godspeed to all.

so essentially all that's going to matter is the name of the bank on your resume? lol honestly not sure how you're supposed to have a ton to talk about after only 6 months
