Sophomore at a top target (HYPSM) + EB M&A (EVR/PJT/CVP) among other things.
I find RX/MF PE much more interesting, distressed work + investing seems interesting, but I was wondering when the timelines for these open. If I want to reach out to Silver Lake, which takes analysts sort of randomly, when would I do that?
Just want to have a gameplan, before I fuck around for the next semester and half lol.

SLP reaches out during your junior summer. If ur H W S you should be able to get an interview. Y P prolly no. Not sure abt M.
RSSG recruits at the end of ur junior summer.
Warburg recruits during ur junior year.
Apollo fig recruits in junior spring.
Other PEs are quite random. Usually junior spring - senior fall.
hh driven or networking / coffee driven?
All undergrad FT processes are ran by the firms themselves, except for Lindsay Goldberg which runs thru ratio
Ntwk-driven sure, but tbh for the places I mentioned above, don’t think ntwk matters that much - know a bunch of people got interviews just by being at a target & a top junior SA program with zero networking
thank you. also most recent SL hire was Columbia + PJT M&A
Yea ik other schools place in SLP. Just mentioned those five cuz OP said they’re from one of those five
lol at the no for Y/P/M. They literally hosted an event for Y/M folks during HY weekend in Boston. Top targets are all fungible, Y kids just generally aren’t as competent technically, and the top M kids aren’t really interested in PE
“Y P probably no” are you retarded? Lol
Also from H/Y/P, do not go to SL, u don’t even get to do live deals just add-on
If u wanna go for distressed, just go to EB and let Ratio and Amity know u wanna go to Apollo or Bain SS, u resume should be top top target so don’t rush
frankly, i care about the exits from SL lol, idrc about the work im doing
If u ultimate goal of exit is to HF then sure, but I thought u wanna do distressed or SS investing. Cuz I’m also into distressed and have no interest in going to HF in the future.
Even for buyout I rly rec doing dd into the firms. From the start my top firms have been: FP, Nordic, Bain SS. I think u should also balance exposure to deals/upward mobility w exit given u resume is alr top top and no need to build too much on it w pure brand name
Genuine question: who got to work on the TikTok and the EA deals?
Literally some of the coolest deals this decade and I’d be willing to do 4 straight years of add ons just to put acquisition of TikTok / EA on my resume lol
Question is are you going to be on the deal team? Most of ppl I talked w at SL were not involved. If u are confident u will be the chosen one to be on the deal sure
i have a family friend who was able to work on both deals
