Does anyone know how selective funds are with who they reach out to for virtual coffee chats?
are these "coffee chats" in person or just phone calls? Have received some calls, but nothing in person...
Which funds are doing informal calls?
are these from MF or MM places?
Latest Litquidity story seems to show Insight, KKR, and Thoma at the very least.
This looks like its specific to tech/ge teams, which usually run first anyways
Are these diversity or no?
AFAIK there isn’t really separate “diversity” recruiting during on-cycle because it’s such a shit show and goes so fast that there’s no time to do a different process
Could someone who has actually gotten these chats clarify

Guys stop talking about this stuff. You're just building more momentum.

What does it mean if you don't get coffee chat invites from firms? Can you still get interviews without them?
