Full-Time IB Analyst Coming in 2019 - Already Getting Recruited by PE?

I was just curious if other monkeys have been getting reached out by search firms on LinkedIn in regard to PE, HF, etc opportunities. It seems way too early but I'm also deciding whether or not these firms are legit and will it do me any harm to wait or to get in touch with said search firms?
