I've seen a fair amount of middle market banking analysts go to some brand name mm pe firms like HIG and some to Audax and AEA. I was wondering if there are pe firms that are more open to analysts from places like Blair/Piper/Baird/HW.

I've seen a lot go to Summit Partners, if you're interested in growth.
More interested in typical buyout funds but thank you
Bump
I have seen Laz MM guys go to GTCR and Harvest. Have also seen Blair guys go to GTCR and Madison Dearborn in the past. Have also seen some MM analysts go to Roark. Note that in most of these cases, this is more likely to be the exception than the norm.
Side note, I think the MM analysts that AEA hires are for its Small Business Fund (not their main middle market buyout fund).
Edit: Have seen Kohlberg hire out of Houlihan (non-RX) pretty regularly. Also appear to have hired someone out of Piper Sandler. Seen Blair to TSG and HW to Audax as well.
