Upcoming On-cycle Recruiting

When is the upcoming PE On-cycle process? I'm hearing whispers of August, but that seems ludicrously early...

Would appreciate any color people may have heard from HHs or their firms if they are currently at PE shops

This is for 2025 on-cycle.

Agreed. Probably not going to be early again this year unless some fund kicks it off but better to be prepared than sorry. Most funds actually do not want to interview analysts so early. They are just forced to if there are even rumors that some funds are starting the process. You could always check with the guys at bryant street advisors. They're pretty plugged into this stuff
