Minimm 1 year exp

I see a lot of job postings require 1 year of experience - how firm are employers regarding this?

I've heard of 1 bank that doesn't take the 1 year of exp too seriously (previous IB internships are good enough).

My background is 8-9 months of PE/IB internships in total.

is it conceivable to lateral to mega funds (TPG, blackstone etc) from mid-size (200milAUM is mid?), for PE. when is the best to do this in the calendar year?

karyptoDepends, most firms look at post grad work experience. By depends, I mean if you get an interview then the experience of your internships comes in to play. The one year mark is for people looking to lateral.

I've seen it happen but it was for a nichee strategy into a niche mega fund strategy
