Been hearing conflicting advice - do you guys recommend networking with associates at PE firms before onycle starts this july (or today as some people are saying lol)? Or should you just let the head hunters do their jobs and sit back until interviews start. Thanks guys.

interviews are ongoing now
Uh huh. You seem to be commenting that everywhere.
Nah there's no point in networking for on cycle. It's different than IB recruiting.
Off cycle network for sure
Got it thank you. That's what I've heard as well but why do you say that? Is it just not worth annoying someone this early or is it that the headhunters control everything mostly
Off cycle is slower and can happen anytime throughout the next 2 years in IB. Dont bother recruiters unless ur doing on cycle
