Oncycle PE Recruiting Schedule - 2020 Class

Kids in 1st year analyst programs........

I work for one of the top MFs (Bx, Kkr, Apollo, Carly...etc.), and we are NOT kicking off the process next week. We are not even done with our events so Stop asking. Its likely going to be same as last years given the awkward thanksgiving holiday.

For us recruiting firm handles all that. Pretty much everything up to the interview. But other mega funds might do it differently. I did hear some of the westcoast funds take a more hands on approach.

The key takeaway is that the events doesn’t have much impact on your chance to interview. Its really more for you guys to learn about the fund.

 

Our fund and 2 funds that are in the deal process has unofficially given indication (atleast within the senior ranks) not to kick off until mid to late November due to this transaction. One of them is mega and another is upper mm. Now it might just be our fund .but I think this is a broader market indication No fund is going to let recruitment two years out interrupt more immediate business affairs.

Doesn’t really matter if MFs are planning on waiting. Last year, MFs said they wouldn’t recruit before Christmas and look what happened. All depends on first mover. Couple kids in my class heard from HHs to be ready for anything next week

 

Throw away account for obvious reasons but "kids" you should hit the books. Don't kid yourself. Funds are making moves. Know many people across this industry and I would expect something over the next week and a half. We finalized our interview case today to give some perspective...

 

For the monkeys that are aware of how the process worked last year: 1. How much lead time is there between finding out the process kicked off and the interview? (e.g. they kick off Friday and you start interviewing Monday at 7 AM) 2. Do interviews happen over the weekend or during the workweek? 3. If during the workweek, do people typically suddenly take vacation / call out or do they try to continue with their typical workload?

Thanks!

 

As little as a few hours to as long as next day (not next business day...) and yes you must lie as much as is necessary — the turn can wait.
