You senior in college?
Given that a lot of analyst are not even in New York during june, the earliest it would make sense to start is after july 4th. However, PE firms are insane and recruiters will never push back on their clients so I wouldn't be suprised.
I have had intro calls with the above mentioned over the past couple of weeks. The conversations have been relatively relaxed and the subject matter is mostly behavioral: "tell me about a time...?" "Why PE?" type questions. By and large probably a preliminary gauge on candidates and their recruiting preferences.
Any of the above headhunters ask you a technical / curveball?
I have gotten a few very easy technicals: How can you boost returns in an LBO? Relationships between the financial statements? and so forth.
If I want to skip on-cycle because I’m not really sure what my plans are yet, is there an opportunity to share that with them or do I have to do this screening/interview call
I would still take the calls but express your timing preferences.
Search firms are the puppeteers driving the increasingly early cycles.
has anyone been asked by one of the HH's to partake in a technical call?
Got off the phone with an MD at a MF. He said they will kick off next week. Gl
Lmao you enjoy inciting anxiety? Zero chance you talked to an MD and they said this. It’s logistically impossible to start on-cycle right now.
No I am not. I was networking for FT opportunities and he told they already made hires. He then ranted abt how ridiculously early PE recruiting is and used oncycle 2026 as an example.

Ye it seems the MD I spoke to was full of shit/ did not exist / I made it up 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪No way oncycle can start in June fr fr🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓 Like most analysts aren’t even in NY yet 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 sincere apologies for all the stress it caused 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Literally just had communication with a HH about a firm recruiting on-cycle and they said they will start hosting info chats and networking events "later in the summer". Obviously all it takes is one firm to kick things off, but a lot of banks (GS is one of them i think) don't start training late june/july and people may be still traveling/not in the city. So would be shocked if they kick off knowing they would miss a lot of talent.
Idk but that is wot I was told. Maybe he misremembered but i dont see a reason why he would lie to me, a summer analyst, abt pe associate recruiting for IB AN1s

What firms are doing coffee chats already?
Heard it might be kicking off in June
Clowns like this who have never posted a thing on the forum and decide finally to share their wisdom spreading bullshit are precisely what will make on-cycle kickoff when everyone’s abroad traveling lmao
totally not the firms that decide when to kick off oncycle
This didn’t age well
