I'd venture to guess maybe 15% get interviews and 5% get offers?
What about for those "tier 1" banks/groups (ie: any GS group, MS M&A, other top MS groups, Citi M&A, Lazard, Blackstone M&A)? Maybe 50% get interviews and 25% get offers?

If you are a good analyst at a reputable bank, getting PE offer's isn't a major reach. A lot of analysts bolt to bschool, f500, etc. after their two years. PE is also a much bigger field than just KKR/TPG; the middle market comprises a much larger slice of PE jobs than MM IB does for IB.
Lazard troll
roughly 78.6759%
It's 77.5473%--you have no future in finance.
Don't know anyone still looking for a PE job in the "tier 1" firms / groups you mentioned. The people I know in top groups / banks who don't have offers right now are looking for HF jobs. Some have locked up opportunities, but a sizable number are still looking. HF recruiting goes on year-round and many don't secure an offer until several months after PE recruiting, so it's not much of a worry.
lazard gets no respect cuz it has an ugly ass website
^ i thought i was the only one to realize this.lmfao. i looking at this right now
^ It's bad, for sure, but I'm still thinking Berkshire is worse
Who cares?.... another pointless thread
^ party pooper
Who cares, you aren't getting a PE offer anytime soon
^lmfao i was going to say that!
uncalled for discount...whatever discount
I would like to know how many people are actually doing 2 IB -> 2 PE -> 2 MBA.
Anyone here actually go that route? It doesn't have to be exact, just close.
I am.
