The VC/PE club hosts various breakfasts and networking events with local firms. This one looked interesting, especially since it covers the limited partner side of the VC world. Here's an abridged version of the email I just received...

You have done a fabulous job in updating your blog for J-terms. There is no other blog for J-term and therefore your efforts are highly appreciated.
Though your future goals do not constitute moving into IB or consulting, majority of future J-term aspirants do want to make this transition. For career switchers, regular September term definitely makes more sense but many applicants, however, still end up applying to the J-term as it fits well in their schedule plus there is no other top class MBA program that starts in January baring INSEAD J-Intake which is more beneficial if some one wants to work in Europe or Asia.
Keeping this in mind, would you be kind enough to comment on J-term students’ experience with consulting/IB or even industry recruiting?
Do recruiting firms exhibit any sort of bias towards J-term students?
My understanding is that starting September, the J-term students take classes together with regular 2nd year September class? Is that correct? Are J-term allow to recruit with September class?
As a J-term, did you ever had “almost there” type feeling in terms of band equity and social hangout.
Thank you so much for your time. Regards
