On-Cycle Non-Target Candidate Insights
Planning on on-cycle recruiting, and trying to get a sense of which firms to prioritize based on how likely it is to get an interview from them.
For context, I'm at a mid-tier BB in NY (think Citi, UBS, Barclays, CS, etc.) and went to a non-target (good GPA and test scores). I'm interested in firms like Warburg, GA, GTCR, Clearlake, Francisco Partners, Veritas, Advent, Ares, Oak Hill, Charlesbank, Apax, AEA, Audax.
Given that I'm not a target school + EB/top BB candidate, what are the odds that I get a first round at any of these firms? Does it make more sense to focus more on others that aren't as competitive?
Audax and AEA have a history of hiring across the board bank-wise in terms of the associate class if you check their team pages. I know Warburg is pretty much all top BB's/EB's as is FP and Advent; though you will see some one-offs from the mid-tier banks when browising websites / Linkeldn. Will let others opine on the rest. Would guess on-cycle is a bit less forgiving of other backgrounds than off-cycle, and unsure if they would interview non top BB/EB + non-target for on-cycle given it's basically two strikes.
How about stats wise
