From vault:

For associate positions, one source says the firm "primarily recruits at Harvard and Wharton, and occasionally interviews at Stanford or Columbia." Explains a London-based contact, "Essentially all the MBAs hired are from Harvard." For analyst positions, Blackstone recruits at Columbia, Harvard, Virginia and Penn (Wharton), but concentrates on finding undergrads at Harvard and Wharton -- "any others depend on which alum feels like going to their alma mater to recruit that year," offers an insider. Another source agrees that "analysts primarily come from Harvard and Wharton," but admits "there are a few from other schools, including Yale and UT Austin."

 

at UT Austin the last 4 years, but usually only hires 1 person out of an interview schedule of 9 or 12. The person who recieved an offer the past 2 years also recived an offer at some combination of GS/Lazard/Greenhill. So, the person is more than qualified. It's either for M&A or Restructuring, but never for PE arm. I assume that's primarily done at H/W. I know this b/c my brother went to UT Austin and graduated from honors business program.

 

It seems like Western is killing it..........I spoke to a few people that had 20+ interviews for full-time.

Any idea on how the guy managed to get into BS if they didnt have a resume drop for the position?

 

does anyone actually know of anybody that moved from Blackstone M&A to Blackstone PE? Obviously that would be pretty cool. Otherwise, the deals they did last year aren't especially impressive - not sure what the hype is all about.

 

Considering I put up those stats and know who the person is let me comment. We have one alumni at Blackstone and they are a VP in a MO role. The person did not go right into the MSF programs. A person I know in one of the classes was a SA at Blackstone. They do not recruit on campus, but no where does it say those placements are who recruits.

 

It's over.

"I do not think that there is any other quality so essential to success of any kind as the quality of perseverance. It overcomes almost everything, even nature."
 

Over. For BX RR/M&A and other smaller groups, they typically have a class size in mind and go out during the winter and hire that many summer analysts, with the intention of having everyone return if they work out. Typically, maybe 1 or 2 will either not get return offers or will decide not to come back, and they will start recruiting to fill that spot in August right after internships end. By the time school starts, the process is rounding up or already over.

 

Pretty much this. They've got kids at every group across the street reaching out all summer so if any of the SAs doesn't get a return or goes straight to a MF/HF, they just interview the best kids from the other banks the week after internships end and pick one.
