Networking ahead of Interview Season
I'll be participating in the upcoming PE recruiting season this spring. When is a good time to reach out to alumni and other relationships I have on my target list to start networking, grabbing coffee, etc..?

Yesterday.
its never too early really. dont wait and set some sort of schedule when you will start. start now and see where it takes you
how much influence do associates at megafunds or top pe shops have over interviews and handing out offers?
some ppl have told me that they can't even get ppl interviews bc of headhunters etc. so how powerful is networking in PE in comparison to IB?
Agreed. Clearly, networking won't hurt you (unless you f*ck something up along the way), but is it really worth the time if headhunters are the ones with the key to the locked door?
