I see many people with pretty crazy MF PE shops like Silver Lake, Vista, TPG, and Partners Group for their sophomore summer. How do they go about getting these offers? I go to a target but I've never seen any sophomore summer openings at these places. Is it all nepo? Are they recruiting up?

if they're female, often it's through girls who invest
That makes sense lol a lot of them are girls. I was so shocked when I saw someone going from Vista sophomore summer to a MM bank for junior summer the other day.
Probably through SEO (many PE firms offer non-convertible sophomore summer internships though.)
