most better known mega funds and mm shops are done recruiting. still a few smaller, less known funds recruiting... starting to finish up quickly though. would say more immediate start opptys vs summer 2011

 

We've wrapped up our recruiting for our Associate class starting next summer. From asking our candidates about where else they were interviewing, it seems as though there are still a handful of PE shops still hiring. I'd expect recruiting to be substantially over in the next few weeks, so you better get on it if you're still out looking for a job. Note, this is for full time positions -- bankers transitioning to PE.
