You need to get some CDDs under your belt. From your phrasing I assume you’re not in Strategy. Historically PE investment teams only hire out of strategy. If you do a rotation you might have sufficient experience under your belt to start recruiting

When I was at EYP-S I had maybe half of the headhunters reach out to me directly. The other half I reached out to on my own. I got on the phone with some alumni in PE and had them walk me through their recruiting processes. You can get a lot of that info here/online (eg names of all the big HHs, guidance for modeling tests, etc.) as well

Tl;dr do CDDs, reach out to head hunters, prep

Hey fishies! 👋I have a BS in Art Education, 10y teaching experience and pivoting to instructional design/curriculum development. Had an awesome 2nd round interview with a hiring manager of Experian. I have an offer as an independent contractor with another (smaller) company. Any salary negotiation advice if I get to the next round with Experian? What’s baseline pay for experian ID’s?

👍Any information is helpful!

I completed my interview loop at Google on August 12, 2022. My recruiter informed me on August 29th that due to a couple of realignments within the org, the hiring manager has not shared any feedback. I was informed on September 8th that the hiring committee is scheduled the next day (September 9th) and that I can expect a final feedback latest by September 12th. I wasn’t informed of the results and reached out, but the recruiter isn’t replying to my emails. Does this mean I was rejected?
