Preparing for on-cycle PE Recruiting as a Sophomore
just signed my junior summer internship in tech IB and am very interested in recruiting for tech focused PE firms like Thoma Bravo and Vista in on cycle recruiting. What steps can I take as a spring semester sophomore to prepare myself to have the best chances for this recruitment? Thanks!
lol
It's already too late, all spots for Analyst position in those funds are filled with high school seniors
haha, hilarious but I promise i'm not trolling or being a hardo. Realized I made the IB process harder by starting off later, so just wanted to space out my prep so that I didn't make that mistake again for PE. Feel like I'm at a good place technically for IB so wanted to pivot to developing the "investor mindset" for PE esp wit the extra time I have on my hands. Thanks!
In all seriousness, please consider touching grass
You should email every single headhunter by tonight explaining your exact situation and asking for advice. They really like to see demonstrated interest and this will separate you from the back. cc orlando bravo and robert smith onto those emails and you’re a lock. feel free to pm for any additional help!!
In my opinion, it wouldn't be the best use of time to start grinding LBOs, technicals, etc. because you will either burn out or forget by the time on-cycle kicks off for you (1.5 - 2 years away, right?).
Because you have a lot of time, I would focus on doing something that would differentiate you from other applicants. School year internship at PE-backed tech portco, work on a startup, or do something that separates you from all the hundreds of target school + top bank applicants.
gotcha, thx for the actual advice!
The PE massas are gonna love a good ol' slave analyst like ye. make sure to prepare you on-cycle LBO from sophomore year. hallelujah.
