Update for 2026 On Cycle
Anyone have any news regarding when it should kick off? Haven’t heard much regarding that / which firms will participate.

posts like these are what kick it off...just relax

People like you are the problem in our industry
Right people like me who have been preparing and want to know when shit is happening are a problem.
Bump. Wondering when On-Cycle 2027 starts? Don’t want to fall behind the curve
Idk why people are so mad. It’s going to be soon. That’s the reality. It moves up every year. Know of a MF doing coffee chats and lots of info sessions happening across UMM/MF. These are the typical signs
This is simply not true. Stop spreading misinformation
Yes it is. Don’t be the annual fool on these forums that claims it is not happening and then it does right after. I can confirm that info sessions and coffee chats are happening. HH calls have also happened
It's June 7th lol it's not happening soon A1

Sry do you mind sharing which firms have been doing coffee chats lately? Relevant info is also fine if don't want to say specific names lol
Lol so let me get this straight. You think they’re going to start before kids have work emails? Before they’re in the city? 😂😂.
that actually is what happened haha
Thanks for all the MS. Guess my comment wasn't so inaccurate after all...
Bump.
My daughter is starting preschool this fall (top target). Should we be worried we haven’t been contacted for on cycle? Hearing rumors of a Blackstone playgroup coming up soon.
spence is semi target at best, nice try. Also heard the bx playgroup only takes from pingry/brearley fyi
Bump.
Just got my girlfriend pregnant yesterday. What can we do during the pregnancy to help make sure the kid is most well prepped for these upcoming HH calls?? Very worried that the kid is gonna miss out on a seat at Blackstone.
Read the comment section. Its going to be the same as real life where you say stupid shit and cant read the room. Nobody wants to be around you, hope you keep this behavior up during chats and interviews so they can sniff you out as the socially oblivious hardo and boot you asap
Really don’t know what could possibly go so wrong in life that you are act this harshly to a stranger asking questions on a forum lmao. Go walk outside, take a deep breath.
After how much of a shit show last on cycle was with how unprepared people were, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s delayed to late August this time.
So with all the coffee chats picking up, is it still crazy to say it will be soon?
Which firms have done coffee chats?
HH said July 7th for my friend
Which firms are coffee chatting? Is it via HH or firm reach out?
have heard of a few friends doing in person networking events

I've been hearing chatter about July potentially this year but not 100% sure. It's crazy how early recruiting has gotten these days.
July or June? I think July is ridiculous but likely, but June would really make no sense with half of the incoming classes still traveling / moving to NY for training to start post 4th of July.

do you know when it started last year?
July 23
Any updates?

Also heard mid-late july from a headhunter
