Have not interviewed with these shops but in thinking about whether it makes sense to apply, I’d like to know if failing to convert / getting rejected essentially blacklists you from applying again or not ?

Nope we see recurring resumes all the time from our BD team
Is that a "no the MMs don't black list ?"Or is that:"No you do not reconsider applicants that were at some stage in the process before but rejected ?"Realize now I should've made the title and question parallel hah
Talked to a guy who interviewed for a FT position at a big MM for immediately after grad, they were looking for an experienced hire and told him no but he interviewed well. Went to Big4 and re-connected with the group after a year or two, got the job. Seems like if you get rejected for fit, probably not. If you just got edged out by a better candidate based on skill/experience, then most definitely.
Do you just go through a headhunter again or reach out to them again or do they reach out to you again?
From what I understand there’s not like a formal role - it’s some kind of pool ?
No, they will take reapplicants often. They will even rehire people they previously fired (I.e. pod blows out but later another pod hires one of the analysts). It’s a smallish world that gets smaller with years of experience and there’s a musical chair aspect to it all.
