I have gone through a handful of rounds for private equity ranging from 1st round to final rounds and have come short every time. This has become a frustrating time for me and it is only making me lose track of the end goal as the entire recruiting process is wearing me down.
I am a second year at a middle market shop so I am considering all options at this point. Do I lateral to a better branded bank, say a BB or EB, and start over as an analyst (brutal and not preferred) or do I stay for my 3rd year and do 2020 recruiting or commit to grinding until the end of my 2nd year hoping to land something for summer 2019? Have anyone had an experience as painful as mine or am I doing something wrong that is causing this?
Hi sffinance321, check out these resources:
I hope those threads give you a bit more insight.

I'm in the same position except as a consultant and wondering if I just start over as an analyst at a BB or EB this summer (not hard with my alumni base) or if I just accept a LMM / MM fund. I got passed up by most people on 2020 recruiting so I have no reason to believe that if I did 2021 recruiting next fall it would be any better.
The worst part is that I declined an offer for a nice ~$5B AUM firm because it was right before on-cycle recruiting and my dumb self thought I'd land something better. It makes me want to crawl in a hole just thinking about it.
Not to hijack the thread, but as someone who is in a similar situation to you guys, I thought getting a discussion group going might be helpful. Here's a link to the idea: https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/experienced-associateanalyst-job…
