Do top groups at pwp/moelis/gugg etc get MF PE HH emails during on cycle?
Title pretty much sums up my question. Currently a rising junior. Still have to get a return offer but I thought I’d just ask given how early the on cycle process is getting.
Not even at a top group but am at one of those, got several MF interviews
target?
Yes and ORM
Outside of top banks/groups On cycle invites seemed pretty sparse. Obviously some got invited, but was very concentrated into the top GS/Evercore/etc groups
So to clarify, invites are a struggle to come by unless you’re in a tier 1 company like Gs/EVR/MS . Rest of the top 15 banks are considered semi targets per se?
Yah i suppose it will be limited to those who have an in or the top candidates in the top groups at those "Semi-Target" firms. But don't think this is true for off-cycle, obviously gugg won't place as well as Evr, but I know a lot of there analyst get great looks, so I don't neccisarily think the "Semi-Target" label is 100% accurate.
Wondering this too. So if you’re not at GS, MS, JPM, EVR, or PJT and you wanna recruit for PE, is it almost a necessity to try to lateral?
Then what’s the point of even being anywhere else?
What's the point of living if we're all going to die one day?
Dawg there’s more to life than MF offers
No. Off cycle will have plenty of opportunities across mid and large cap PE
One of the dumbest comments I’ve ever seen on WSO
TIL the entire goal of working in IB is to exit to MF PE
At a MF and came from one of those banks, so yes. We get more HH inbounds for candidates from the top firms, but honestly if you just cold email a bunch of associates, you easily can get in MF processes that way regardless of bank.
So networking helps for on-cycle?
Yes absolutely
I think the better questions did any non-targets at these groups get any pings
As someone who is part of one of the mentioned banks, has signed with a MF, and has interacted extensively with people from each of these banks during the process, I can confidently say that it wasn't only the top groups receiving invites (although was skewed heavily towards Evercore/GS). The outcomes seemed to be influenced significantly by which headhunters you met with and their impressions of you.
Congrats on signing- that’s huge. For myself and others in my shoes, how should I approach networking before on cycle to maximize my chance of getting 1st rd looks? For reference, I go to a non-ivy target
