Guidance on recruiting timeline

Hey folks – sorry to be a noob but as a H/Y/P/S classics major I'm not so in the loop when it comes to PE recruiting so I was curious if you could provide some guidance. I'll be starting at a top tier MM as a FT analyst soon and I wanted to clarify that PE recruiting starts as soon as this August? If I don't land a gig this time around can I recruit a year out once I have more experience? I've seen come conflicting posts and would appreciate guidance.

 

Hey Analyst 1 in IB - Gen, I'm the WSO Monkey Bot and I'm here since nobody responded to your thread! Bummer...could just be time of day or unlucky (or the question/topci is too vague or too specific). Maybe one of these topics will help:

More suggestions...

Fingers crossed that one of those helps you.
