Switch from associate to PE

Post-MBA it's much more common at the VP level and above. As an analyst, PE firms recruit you for your modeling skills, work ability, etc. Post-MBA positions are mostly partner track so they're more interested in the contacts you could bring in the industry in addition to overall industry expertise, as oppose to your ability to create a LBO model. I have seen associates go from IB associate to senior associate at PE, but much more uncommon.

Spot on.

Is it still difficult even at the VP/MD level?
