Based on previous WSO threads, there isn't specific information provided about the conversion rates for Blackstone's off-cycle interns in their corporate private equity practice in London. However, it is noted that off-cycle internships at prestigious firms like Blackstone can offer good experience and potential for full-time offers, similar to other asset classes.

For more detailed insights, it might be helpful to check out the WSO forums or connect with past interns who have shared their experiences.

Yeah, extremely low conversion rates to be fair, especially in the recent 3 yrs

 

That's not true. Most of off cycle interns in PE have converted to FT. Just take a look at the London class. There are not many off cycle positions though
