MD Asked Me Out (Analyst), What Do I Do?

Clickbait ass title, but there seems to be a dearth of info on the Silver Lake Analyst Program. Curious as to:

1. What are the SA return offer rates?

2. How is the training and responsibilities of analysts?

3. How are A2A rates and where do analysts tend to go?

4. What are SA and FT interviews like and what do they look for?

5. How does it compare to Vista and Warburg’s analyst program?
