Hey everyone,
I have a quick question regarding on cycle recruiting. I know most people recruit around a month after they start their analyst stint, but I was wondering what happens if you wait to recruit after your 1st year. Is it possible to get a megafund offer one year out or will it still be two years out?
Thanks.
