Things seem to be picking up again (kind of). Which firms have been doing interviews recently?

I’ll start, have heard of the following having interviews:

Private Equity LinkedIn Review

“Helpful session. We went through my LinkedIn profile line by line, and the feedback was honest and practical, not generic advice you could find online. A few things I thought were fine actually needed rewording, and once they pointed them out it made total sense. I also came away with some specific points to add that I hadn’t considered, especially around how I present my M&A and project finance experience. I’ve already started making changes and the profile feels a lot more polished. Thanks a lot!”

Private Equity Career Roadmap (optional)

“The mentor was very knowledgeable and experienced and have a similar background as me being also an international student, so a lot of the anecdotes he provided feel really relatable and resonates with me. He also provided me with a clear timeline as to what I should do NOW, and answered the questions I posed very directly, which I appreciate. ”
