Who actually gets into MF PE?
Who ACTUALLY makes it into top MF PE (KKR, BX etc.)?
With the amount of talent out there, and the amount of people that want to go M&A > PE, I cannot believe they ever need to hire outside of top Goldman, MS and JPM groups.
If anyone outside of those groups can get in... how? Do they look at more than just industry experience? Surely by that point 'extra-curricular activities' are of no significance.
Why would top GS, MS, JPM groups have to have all of the best talent? Just one bad interview might make someone who would have been a rising star at GS unable to get the offer, and just one mistake could have led someone who would have gone to GS/MS/JPM to have to take a less prestigious offer. It's like asking why would GS hire outside of Harvard, Yale, Princeton - there are exceedingly talented people out there who were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Interested as well
Just look up linkedin profiles of people at megafunds. Plenty of associates from elite boutiques and all bulge brackets, including UBS, Barclays, Deutsche Bank, and Citi.
Sure they MAY have just made an error etc but once guys at the top 2/3 houses have had the dealflow and training that goes with that, they will almost be guaranteed to be a step ahead, no?
FYI I'm not at GS/JP/MS so this isn't a dig at others who aren't. I'm well aware there are top people elsewhere but there are (surely?) LESS top people - why would top PE firms take the risk..?
Lol well I hope you're right since I am going to be at GS/MS, but I kind of doubt it.
Why do people always lump JPM with GS and MS?
Sure they've been doing really well these past few years but for PE recruiting they're a notch or two below GS and MS and have more in common with the other BBs.
I mainly lumped them because of their strong levfin team..
Wouldn't you also throw ML into the same tier as GS/MS for PE Recruiting? When you check out the bios of the megafund guys, a lot of them come from ML
