Dear Recruiters,

Hi, if you are a recruiter in PE, what can/should an S&T analyst do that would make you consider them (without having to lateral to IB)? If one trades commodities, what skillsets from this field should they pick up that would prepare them for the transactional nature of this industry without having done deals? Greatly appreciate any advice given!
