Anyone hear if Silver Lake has kicked off summer 2024 associate recruitment this month yet? CPI has ghosted me after asking if I’d be interested in coffee chats with the team in December….
I’m at a bank and in a group that has placed at SLP historically but just wondering if I already got cut due to my non-target school alum status lol.

Yeah, you probably got your resume submitted, but it never got picked for coffee chats. It’s just the way it works with headhunters and the process. They blast everyone to gather interest and if you don’t hear back, you just have to assume you’re resume is either back of pile or you didn’t get selected. What I realized over many years of working headhunters is that radio silence is 99% a ding. They will call every single number, text and leave you 10+ voicemails if you move forward or get an offer. Just move on as it’ll be best for your sake.
so did slp go or not
No

not sure how true it is but have heard it from multiple others at my bank. apparently they’re either going to hire 1 person last minute or no one at all. their analyst class is quite sizable now, and in this economy, no need to take on any more associates at the moment.
Heard from CPI they still haven’t kicked off…
how much does school matter? do you not get any points for being in a good group as a non-target?
School seems to matter a ton for SLP unfortunately. Vast majority attended either Harvard or Penn, and then you have one-off people from the likes of UVA, Notre Dame, etc. Only true non-target associate I see listed on their website went to a HBCU.
Fuck. I’m a non target for PE( we have one MD at SLP) and am heading to a group with frequent placement to SLP.
I assume networking is useless(?) for on cycle at least
anyone hear back on round 2
^
Is this for 2024?
Yes
Anyone ever hear back here?
They just hired 1 person for the NY spot. Process over now unfortunately.
How was interview process as a whole and what was modeling test like?
Xx
I heard that SLP was having major issues with their fund performance. Surprised they are hiring. Can anyone confirm?
Anyone ever hear back?
Sounds like trouble over at SLP. No return offers being given to interns. No hiring of full time analysts. Heard they might’ve taken 1 or 2 associates in both this years and last years cycle. Let’s see how they shake this one off.
Also heard no returns and incoming analysts
no return offers to interns is heinous goddamn
Anyone have any more information on the issues with fund performance? Does it stem from the earlier stage stuff they did in 2021?
Anyone ever hear back from the final round
Bump
Kinda brutal that the guys who grinded for years to finally see some carry basically have nothing to show for it
Im a bit naive on the current situation. What’s happening with SLP? Bad results over the pst year?
Very curious as well
