Thoughts on exiting to a Family Office (1-5B AUM, lean team of 5-10)?

I have 2-4 years in M&A and Strategy consulting, and interested in PE, but wondering if anyone has specific experience with similar family office exit. All advice is appreciated!

Anyone’s company still going through the hiring process up to Christmas? Was in the running for a role at a consultancy and had an interview scheduled for weeks. Suddenly got it cancelled with no explanation, when I reached out 2 days later the recruitment team gave little to no explanation besides ‘recruitment stopping for the year. Has left a v sour taste. I have other interviews lined up but this one was a favourite.

Never had this happened before, so just curious to know if this is normal?
