Blackstone (Advisory) exit opps?

Does anyone know if headhunters for the top megafunds generally reach out to analysts in BX advisory (like they would with GS TMT)? Or am I going to have to do a lot of networking to get interviews?

I'm just worried that because Blackstone's analyst class is pretty small, maybe HHs will focus more on the traditional BB groups?

For those who have gone through the PE recruiting process, have you seen people from BX advisory at PE interviews or know people who have gotten offers from places like KKR/Carlyle/Apollo/etc?

(I'm going to be working there this summer)

Shoe Salesman and a red-headed wife. I worked at BX M&A and Gary's Shoes and Accessories for Today's Woman was the only place that would hire me after I finished my analyst stint

Please don't equate such a fine delicacy such as that of Caviar (Osetra preferred) to BX... Try Cape Cod Community College: 4 Seas by the Sea as your user name.

Hope this helps.

 

haha wow the sarcasm on this board...

Give the kid a break, he's only a junior in college.

Yes, BX analysts are recruited very heavily by all the megafunds. You'd have the same opportunities as your buddies at MS and GS, maybe even better since the analyst class is so much smaller.

If you're still not sure, just talk to some current/previous analysts in your group and you'll see that they got interviews/offers with all the top funds. I personally know two analysts there who are going to megafunds

 
AstonMartin he's only a junior in college.

So this means he doesn't have to search for a answer and he deserves to have things spoon feed to him?

The answer to your question is 1) network 2) get involved 3) beef up your resume 4) repeat -happypantsmcgee WSO is not your personal search function.
