They might or they might not. As another poster has said, it's not as common, but really it comes down to negotiating leverage. If a PE firm really wants to hire a top Director at an IB, for whatever reason, then maybe the Director can negotiate that. If a MF is hiring an Investment Associate in this market...it'll be tougher (worth asking).

And by the way, unless you're applying directly, ask your recruiter - they'll have a sense (or should do) about that firm's policy
