No HH outreach yet as first year analyst?

Might be a silly question, but are most first years hearing anything from HHs for PE recruiting? I’ve been on the job for a little over a month (training then 2 weeks on job) and haven’t heard anything yet.

Only reason I ask is my friend at top bank in top group is getting all sorts of inbounds for intros/coffee chats and I’m hearing nothing.

I’m at an in-between bank that’s not really BB tier (WF/ RBC/ etc) and am worried that my bank just isn’t appealing enough for PE recruiting. Should I be reaching out to headhunters?
