Bumps
Bump any $5B+ funds that haven’t gone yet? Know some european funds do off-cycle. What about other UMM and top MM like Lindsay Goldberg or Charlesbank?
Lindsay Goldberg went on-cycle, unsure if/how many seats are left for off-cycle
Anyone hear from HIG MM?
not yet. Lmk if u do
You too, feel free to DM
Haven’t heard, spoke to talent about a month ago
Advantage Fund gonna do SPD this week or next
Anyone knows if SF shops have available off cycle
Genstar
They’ve filled their 2026 class, I asked a HH. Also they are not hiring students on VISAs anymore.
Following
Stone Point and HIG doing off-cycle
Kelso and Harvest also
Most UMM and MF funds are doing off cycle except KKR (100% filled their class)
Is anyone recruiting off-cycle for T2/T3 cities? I am looking at Dallas and wondering if anyone has a clear idea of when it really starts kicking off.
I have had friends land ASO1 roles as late as a few months before starting, so curious as to whether there is any sort of predictable timeline here.

H&F went on-cycle not sure if they filled. Would be surprised if there were still a lot of seats left.
what is process like for Sycamore and Skyknight?
Bump anything on skyknight
Has GI started or wrapped up?
Started and wrapped up. Funds are coming out for processes gradually through the weeks it seems. A lot of firms have started and it's been less than a month since on-cycle formally kicked-off. Wondering how long this period of sustained recruiting will go before it goes silent again.
GI is still in process. Have 1 seat for service and 1 seat for software. I’m in one of the two processes
Curious whether anyone heard back from HIG’s spd
when did u Superday? did mine about 2 weeks ago. prob didn’t get it
Yesterday, do u know if anyone heard back or how long does it usually take thx
bump
