I recently received a FT offer from a BB, would it be wise to start reaching out to PE firms now, or would it be a complete waste?
Any suggestions on how I should approach it? Thanks.

wow, are you serious? - until you start working, what "value-add" you bring to the table is even more marginal than any full first-year...
i don't think you would look great. enjoy your senior year and worry about the next job hunt when the time is more appropriate
The whole point the the OP post was that he doesn't know when the "more appropriate" time is...hence the question he asked. If you don't know the answer or don't have something worth posting just keep to yourself.

No, not yet. There is staying ahead of the masses and there is just standing in the middle of a field by yourself. I would start seriously looking around towards the end of your first year, hoping to get interviews going by early second year and have a place to go upon completion of your second year. If you are interested in sticking for 3 years, push said plans back 1 year. This assumes a headhunter or other contact doesn't reach out to you first - I am referring to proactive searching on your part.

What's the consensus on when headhunters will start reaching out for the FT analysts who started in July 2009? I heard that this most recent cycle was later than previously, because of the recession, but will the cycle start earlier, now that the markets are (hopefully) recovering?
is that you reach out to current 1st & 2nd year analysts who are going through the recruiting process and prepare.
what is most important is to find out how to make the most of your first year.
by the way, are the BB's still doing layoffs?I'm making it up as I go along.
start prepping and worrying about it in december of your 1st year.. recruiters will start reaching out (even earlier for GS/MS). then you will start meeting with headhunters and interviews for P/E usually start in the late spring / early summer. things definitely started later this year and i'm assuming it will keep that way... p/e firms wanted to make sure you had actual deal experience. also they waited for your ranks a little bit more.
don't worry about it now. do good work and get help from your 2nd years when recruiting picks up.
