Know the person who went to Astorg after Warwick, for your next post try to at least not bait too hard. 

To answer your question, all of the following firms are taking interns for OCs, usually, they are open that they won't consider you for FT but have seen some rare cases where they allow. MFs recruitment are happening much earlier right now, if your brother likes PE then tell him to do that. He should mainly base it on his interest IMO. 

 

Don’t mean to derail the topic, but how did the Warwick guy get into a PE assoc role without any FT experience?

Surely this can’t be the norm? I don’t see at all the point of Astorg doing this (if they really liked him surely an analyst role would have sufficed). Astorg being a respectable UMM in the healthcare space would surely have their pick of the top/close to the top IB/consulting analysts?

 

Check recent FT PE A1 recruitment of BX and other MFs, most have 1 BB SA. PE isn't rocket science, learn some decent modelling and then it's up to yourself in interviews.
