London Recruitment Market (PE/REPE)

Keen to hear from active candidates at the analyst / associate / senior associate level how they are seeing the market and how long they have been searching for roles.

Left mine in December due to fit/career progression issues , been tough to find anything tangible.

This year in general was very off for many, I know people with amazing backgrounds and target unis on their cv that didn’t land anything not even internships, it’s just an off year so wait for the next cycle
