When 1st year IB analysts interview with PE and HF firms are they generally expected to use vacation days or do interviews happen on a weekend superday? Would it be weird to ask for a day off 6/7 months in? Would that look suspicious? Is it generally an open secret that IB analysts take days off around January/February to recruit for PE/HF and superiors are fine with it?
