Experienced associate/analyst job search discussion group

Having worked at a middle market PE firm, where there aren't many peers to trade notes with, pretty much since college, I wanted to see if there's interest in a job search discussion group. It'd be a group for anybody who has gone through or is going through associate or experienced analyst recruiting, where we can help each other prep, share ideas, keep each other accountable for keeping up the networking grind, and general industry chat

Here's a link to the Discord server: https://discord.gg/hmzJKvQ
