London PE processes for newly AN2

Hi all, just promoted to AN2 and would like to exit in next 6 months. I am based in London and am therefore wondering which funds are recruiting people with 1.5 years of experience vs. 2? Already know that Advent does. Any other? Does Bain, EQT, Permira, Carlyle, CVC etc do too?
