You senior in college?
Given that a lot of analyst are not even in New York during june, the earliest it would make sense to start is after july 4th. However, PE firms are insane and recruiters will never push back on their clients so I wouldn't be suprised.
I have had intro calls with the above mentioned over the past couple of weeks. The conversations have been relatively relaxed and the subject matter is mostly behavioral: "tell me about a time...?" "Why PE?" type questions. By and large probably a preliminary gauge on candidates and their recruiting preferences.
Any of the above headhunters ask you a technical / curveball?
I have gotten a few very easy technicals: How can you boost returns in an LBO? Relationships between the financial statements? and so forth.
If I want to skip on-cycle because I’m not really sure what my plans are yet, is there an opportunity to share that with them or do I have to do this screening/interview call
I would still take the calls but express your timing preferences.
Search firms are the puppeteers driving the increasingly early cycles.
