What happens if I didn't get on-cycle?
Had a couple of buy-side interviews in the insurance acquisitions/asset management space (think MFs). I think I did well and received good feedback in both processes but did not get the offer in the end.
Obviously, I plan to just go A2A for now. More seriously though, I want to keep trying to apply to shops as they have openings but also wait for next year's rounds and try again.
Is applying again / going through processes as a first-year associate common or is it looked down upon?
Other than that, I plan to tighten up my interviewing and technical skills. Are there any books on buy-side interview prep you recommend?
Why not do on-cycle
like next year?
Sorry I meant off-cycle. Like someone else mentioned, there should be a good amount of off-cycle opportunities this time around, especially since a lot of talented banking analysts didn't have the best luck on-cycle
There’s going to be a ton of off cycle recruiting in PE this year because of what a sh*t show on cycle was
