Still possible to get a PE gig for 2016?

I did a phone interview with one firm but still haven't heard back (don't love the geography though) and then did a superday at a well-known MM fund but didn't receive an offer. Best to wait until next year to see if any better known funds have a spot open up or are there any relatively well known funds still hiring? Coming from a lower-middle market IB gig (not super well known), and would love to get experience at a larger platform.
