First of all I am not a banker but a MBB consultant (within the PE practice). Slowly approaching now the 2 year tenure mark. I have a competitive profile in terms of school, office location, etc. for PE recruiting, yet the headhunter requests have tremendously dried up.
Of course I can only tell from the experiences of others (i.e., through my previous internships) but I have seen the linkedin inboxes from colleauges at the same firm / same practice a few years ago and it was just exploding.
To clarify (before people chime in that PEs hire more bankers than consultants - I know that) my shop has tons of alumni in my location in investment teams at various Mid and Large Cap funds and even some occasional mega-fund exits.
Is this a market thing?!?! I have realized that basically most of my banker friends with 1-4y tenure also didn't have great exits (or none exits). The only people who are at good funds now are people who started at GS/JPM/MS and exited after 8-14 months into an investment analyst role (not associate).
If you have tons of alumni in these shops, why don't you contact them and ask for a referral? Would be the most logical way to avoid indirect channels.
