Thank you Intern in IB - Gen for your perspective.

More than likely this is some sweat trying to force it to kickoff as early as possible.

 

Based on previous WSO threads, KKR's on-cycle recruiting process is known for being highly competitive and intense. If the kickoff is set for 1/5, candidates should be prepared for a rigorous two-day interview process, especially since most corporate PE groups aim to fill their seats during this period. However, it seems their Infrastructure group might delay filling positions, which aligns with the trend of some funds reserving spots for off-cycle processes.

For those preparing, ensure your technical skills, deal experience, and behavioral responses are polished. Good luck to all candidates—this is a prime opportunity to join one of the top-tier firms in private equity!

OP this is so lame .. can we please stop with these false flag posts? They only end up hurting us as candidates .. on-cycle could start in 2 weeks for all we know
