Oncycle starting after Thanksgiving ??

Senior in college at a target, and have been getting multiple headhunter inbounds / MF coffee chats scheduled.

I’ve also been talking to one of my connections at one of my top choice funds, and he seemed to suggest that this fund is preparing to kick off after Thanksgiving . 
 

what should I do with the time I have to prep ?

Same lol. Pushing it from June to December would be insane lol but these firms would do anything 

 

This is clearly a troll / bait post and getting wires crossed for summer 2026. they have not even filled >20% of PE seats for 2026
