PE FT2027 role

I been through 3 rounds, my headhunter told me the last in person was round was the final and I’d 100% hear my decision by day by 3pm. Then he calls me at 8pm that evening saying there’s another round…



Suspect? How does he not know number of rounds? Next round is just meeting 2 junior employees at some restaurant? He wouldn’t tell me if other candidates have a similar set up…what abt the kids that flew in for the in person round? Am I on the fence and they’re giving me another chance??


One of the ppl I’m meeting w apparently is an analyst when I’d be joining as an associate…, the other is an associate….how can they be my next round ???
