if KKR hired analysts, my guess is it would be unique cases such as favors for clients.

BX's program is a 3 year analyst program. Not that great imo. Would rather do banking + PE associate.

 

somehow I found on Carlyle's website that they have Research Analyst position, what exactly do research analyst do on a day to day basis? What is the career prospect?

Yes, they do. They recruited from undergrad for their new energy fund.

what exactly do these research analyst do? Is it kind of a second class citizen in the fund? What is the career prospect?

 

Carlyle recruits straight from undergrad for their Energy Mezz Fund, relatively recent final close at $1.4b. Name is a bit of a misnomer as they do traditional buyouts and equity investments in addition to debt investing.
