Hi everyone,
I’m a 1st year IB banker looking to recruit for PE.
I keep getting invites for PE recruitment events. Unfortunately I’m always too busy to attend. I imagine most make up excuses to sneak out of office or take days off to recruit/interview. I’m just not that good at lying though. What’s the best way to approach this?
