Hi everyone,
Anyone who has gone through the process, is there any advantage to waiting to recruit after this initial stage of madness is over? I know there are a bunch of funds that won't even look at analysts until their second year ( och-ziff, york, Brevan Howard, etc), or is this not wise thinking?
FYI- I'm a first year at an elite boutique (laz, houlihan, BX) in the restructuring group

So you want to wait after the main recruiting cycle, which means beginning after funds bring in their best interview candidates and start the decision process?
Are you asking if there is an advantage to being late to the game? Not sure if serious....
From my understanding after talking to some of the head hunters (dynamics, amity, etc) that only a handful of credit shops (anchorage, centerbridge,king street to name a few) interview during the main cycle otherwise it is all one off. My question was, is it worth waiting for the immediate start spots later on? I was wondering if anyone could speak to the difference in the types of firms
