PE Recruiting at HBS/GSB
I posted this on the Reddit MBA thread and didn't get a lot of advice so I figured I'd ask here.
I've seen similar posts (on WSO and on Reddit) about PE recruiting at Wharton (looks like it is a mix of on-campus for MF/UMM and self-directed for MM/LMM) but haven't seen anything that explains the process at H/S. Would be great to get a sense for which funds come on campus vs which opportunities come through headhunters or networking. In particular for firms that seem to only recruit at H/S (not sure how many or if there are any at all but my sense is H&F in PE, Paulson in HF. Are there others?) are these on campus opps or should I be networking for these. Also what is the timeline on these processes?
Background: HYP summa, 4 years at top tier Growth Equity out of undergrad (WP, GA, Insight) so never did the on-cycle associate recruiting process, but am in touch with a few HH. 770 GMAT.
Goal: Hoping to move to test the waters downstream from where I play to a more "traditional" buyout fund (H&F, KKR) or a crossover-type hedge fund (Blackstone Horizon, Coatue, Altimeter, Tiger, Viking).
I'm weighing the value of rolling the dice on b-school round 2 vs trying to go direct.
Why not give it a year ?
Try recruiting directly, if no success then take the business school route.
Most people go to business school to end up where you are, so I don’t see the urgent need to get your MBA unless you just want the title.
