Asking for a friend

Quite literally, one of my friends asked me and I didn’t have an answer. So I’m asking my fellow monkeys.

He got an internship with a known PE firm. Not really sure how he got this because he is major non target + has no IB exp or really any finance knowledge at all.

Anyways, good for him that he go the internship. Very happy for him. However, his internship ended after 8 weeks. He also was told to go work in IB before coming back.

Can someone give me a translation so I can tell him what this really means. I’m in ER, so this isn’t really my area.

 

Oh my apologies. He wanted to know if this was a nice way of not getting a return offer or not?

 

My fund does this for all summer interns. We have them intern as sophomores and expect them to land top BB/EB internships given the fund's brand name. After completing two years as analysts, preferably in a top group, they are invited back to interview as "priority candidates" for associate seats. I've heard of a few other funds doing this too.
