I'm a 1st year analyst at an MM and have started to receive emails from headhunters about buy-side opportunities. However I'm not sure how to proceed. On one hand, my bank isn't a typical PE/HF target, so I should be taking advantage of every opportunity. On the other hand, I've only been in banking for 3-4 months, have no deals under my belt, and frankly am not even sure if I want to recruit now or continue in banking. How should I proceed with headhunters (if at all) if I want to maintain a good relationship, but would want a few more months to get experience?
