I’m an analyst at Citi with one more year left in my program before I roll off. What steps can I take to steer my career towards private equity? Firms like KKR don’t even have job postings online.
Thanks for the idea! I’ll see if I can find some folks on LinkedIn.
All PE recruiting for analysts goes through headhunters. Ask around in your group, you should be friends with some 2nd year analysts who have recruiting and can tell you directly...
All? So no point in cold emailing and networking?
Are you set on MF?
I’m looking at everything, I’m not sure if I’m happy at such a big bank.
Optimize your LinkedIn, headhunters typically just filter through LinkedIn
This is interesting. Is optimizing about keywords, or describing your roles in depth? I wonder if my LinkedIn is optimized...
This is a good point- I’ll look into this. I thought my LinkedIn was pretty optimized, I think I can also turn on this switch to announce to recruiters I am looking for jobs

Hey, I DMed you a few days ago
You can begin by reaching out yourself to firms you'd be interested in working at.

Are you in citi's investment banking group? I'm surprised you're asking this question if so since you would've seen many of your peers scrambling during Fall 2019 when recruiting kicked off. If my hunch is right and you aren't in ibd, but an analyst in some other group, it'll be hard if not impossible to switch to pe from a diff product group. I'd try an internal transfer to ibd/m&a and recruit from there.

They approach you with headhunters if they’re interested. Don’t bother unless you’re from a IVY+ school
How do headhunters find targets? How can an analyst stand out?
This couldn’t be further from the truth, tons of different schools place into MFs like KKR
