Yes, although rarely if your previous experience is a perfect fit (and yes, perfect or near perfect is important) for the fund’s strategy and industry focus. My friend got one of two internships out of his class at one of the funds you listed above

Yes

I mean for the portfolio / strategy / “consulting” team, not deal side

KKR and Vista definitely do
