I know that this question pops up at least once a month but would be great to have an updated view. What PE firms/funds hire analysts out of school in London (as of 2023/2024 so dont mention 3i, Terrafirma or similar), and are there any active processes now?
Some examples i know: Warburg (females preferred), SL, Apax Digital, GA, Bx, GS MBD, Roths PI, Towerbrook, Oakley etc.

im genuinly losing hope
I might've mist a few as I'm focusing on ones that are active (which aren't that many). Ngl it's looking bleak. The ones I know of, I'll list below:
Advent (via SEO London): exclusively ran by SEO, hired for SA 2024 which closed in Oct
Carlyle: emailed HR & got told "we are not currently recruiting for an internship but we will receive our new approval in the new year - if anything comes up I'll let you know" I doubt they will imo
Bain Capital Credit (via SEO London + on their website): hired for 2024 SA which is closed, they were meant to do OC for special sits & NPL but that never opened despite me speaking with HR - maybe they didn't get new approval or something
ICG (via SEO London): SA's open for Credit Fund Management, Corp Affairs and Finance teams, they ran recruiting for grads in finance, investment teams & 1 or 2 more BO teams which is closed and wasn't via SEO
DigitalBridge: recently opened for SA
Astorg: recently closed OC hiring
Cinven: they hired for OC but closed in Nov '23

AnaCap (via SEO London): will be opening on 30th Jan, idk what team(s) yet
Nordic Capital: currently hiring for OC interns in fall '24
Cerberus: SA's closed but OC in the UK CES AM team still open
Hayfin (via SEO London): did SA recruiting, closed now + I got rejected anyway
CVC: did SA & OC recruiting in private credit, closed
Revaia: currently hiring OC interns for growth equity
PSP: opened today, currently hiring for OC interns
Advent (Through SEO) does not convert to FT unfortunately.
Thanks, if you are interested in OCs i can also drop Bx Credit/PE/TacOps(once a year tho) and Apollo Hybrid Value. None of them are recruiting atm however
Im only looking for FT now and agree, it does not look good
