PRIVATE EQUITY 2024 ASSOCIATE RECRUITING THREAD

Considering how recruiting has been pushed forward, now we have to look for PE associate roles while securing SA offers. Where have you all been networking? Any other related comments are fine too.

Not sure why this thread is getting MS. The big shops won’t start until a bit later of course but some of the smaller shops are recruiting early but you have to network . Got a phone screen for a small PE shop next week. Offer of course (if I make it ) contingent on IBD analyst completion.
