PE Firm 2020 Whose Still Open

Anyone know who is still taking apps for PE recruiting for full time 2020? I know Silver Lake and Blackstone still are. Don't know if Warburg and KKR are done (happy for any updates) and want to know more firms that are recruiting.

Why are a lot of these lower than top EBs like EVR and PJT? Aren't these offers harder to get?

 

Significantly harder to get than IB jobs, there are drastically fewer positions and practically every top ib applicant applies. Pay is lower from a combination of the firms knowing you will work for them for less because of the prestige/reputation of the firms and also because you are often times (there are exceptions) working far fewer hours and therefore afforded a much healthier lifestyle
