Real Estate MF Equity Associate Recruiting

I'm wondering what the recruiting schedule for real estate private equity associates looks like at megafund RE shops (Blackstone, Brookfield, Apollo, KKR etc). I'm going to be starting at a large fund in their RE debt group soon, and am looking to switch over to the equity side in the future. I know that regular PE firms start associate recruiting essentially right after analysts start at investment banks, and was wondering if RE associate recruiting follows the same, or a similar schedule. Additionally if anyone could recommend any resources that might be helpful in preparing for interviews, that would be great

For all of the firms you mentioned, they are on the on-cycle recruiting process with regular PE. In some cases they don't fill the class with all bankers so there is more variability with laterals
