Recruiting as a Junior in College for MF Private Equity from Princeton
Hi,
For context, I am an engineering junior at Princeton with an interest in private equity and debt financing. I thought about these fields earlier in undergrad for the sake of money while my peers were recruiting, but I decided against it because I was genuinely interested by my coursework in other areas and I'd like to enjoy my career. Through my own path, I've realized I'm fascinated by financing large infrastructure projects through reading cases, working on projects, and learning about it through people who've worked in the field. I'm hoping to develop an expertise in the area after graduation. I want to go to business school and work on large infrastructure projects that are driving forward the climate transition like financing mining operations, grid infrastructure, solar arrays, wind farms, etc. I believe I have a good enough GPA to get past most resume screenings and have taken technical coursework - though most of it not relevant to the field, it's clear I have the ability to work with quantitative information. I've been told by peers who've been recruiting that the odds are stacked against me, but from what I've seen in other parts of my life, there is always a way in. I was hoping to get advice on what the strategy to get into top private equity groups like KKR or Blackrock might look like at this point when these firms typically recruit two years ahead. And if it's truly impossible at this point, what other paths can I take to get relevant experience on large deals to learn the field well?
Thank you for any advice
