I couldn't find a thread with firms that currently have open applications. Should we start one with firms that currently have open apps for 2021 FT analysts? Or if there is one already, would appreciate a link!
I know KKR and Ares are already in the process of recruiting, couldn't really find info on other PE firms

Ares is doing FT right now?
Nope, according to a recruiter, they'll start early August
I saw Vista was still doing 2020 FT does anyone know if the 2021 app is open? A friend at a target said for 2020 it went around their school early before it was open publicly. Would love to get the link if anyone sees it
target only srry
I go to target and have not received anything. Interested in what their timeline will be though
Any new news on timeline?
Vista app has been open for a few days now - check their website.

any idea when Bain Cap will open up
recruiter said later this summer
Any new news on timeline?
following
Any update on Warburg? Heard they have a shortlist but not sure how to get on it (I've heard it's MIT + Wharton only?)
Called someone there earlier - networking seems to be important but no interviews yet
bump
What are you bumping for, nothings changed in a week - if you have a specific question I'm sure someone can answer
thanks for the extra bump BRO
Also MM funds open in July/ early August.
Any idea on which "reputable ones" are doing FT roles for '21?
Bump, anyone have a list of firms besides the MFs?
Anyone know which firms typically fill up (close to) 100% FT with SAs?
Audax
List of reputable MM/UMM PE firms that recruit Analysts out of undergrad: (off the top of my head)
Altamont Audax Group Bregal CCMP Crestview Partners GTCR LLR Partners Parthenon Capital Riverside Roark Stone Point Vector Capital
A few disclaimers: These are traditional buyout, non-sourcing shops - there are plenty of more early-stage growth firms that take Analysts purely for sourcing. Also, many of the mentioned funds recruit exclusively out of a few target schools, making it really difficult to break in if you're not from a specific background. You generally won't find an online application portal for these gigs - it's all done through OCR or email listservs.
LGP discontinued their analyst program.
really? do you know why?
GTCR does not hire FT
They hire interns and convert to FT, but don't hire FT directly iirc
Audax only makes FT hires from their intern class.
Anyone have any insight on Blue Sea Capital?
