Path to megafunds!

I skipped the i-banking analyst spot, and instead I took a first-year analyst role at a boutique PE firm (500MM). My goal is to get an associate position at a PE mega fund (KKR, BlackRock, Carlyle, TPG, etc.) in the future.
Would the following be a reasonable path to do so?
analyst at a boutique PE for 2-3 years --> Top 7 MBA --> associate at a PE megafund

Bfin, It that's sarcasm,
Bfin,
It that's sarcasm, then I clearly haven't come out of the post-haze state I've been in since 3PM on Friday. IF it's not, you should know that I've gone off many many times on the subject of searching. It's been a while, but I think in the last 3 months, I've done it 3-4 times that I can remember off the top of my head. I swear, you would think that anyone who wants to get into banking would know how to do their own due diligence.
Excuse me, Frieds, but it IS
Excuse me, Frieds, but it IS rational to post a new question on the forum, rather than expend the effort and time required to find an esoteric piece of information. It took me literally 1 minute to post my question. After posting, I waited approximately 30 minutes, checked the replies, and found an answer to my specific question! Posting a new topic is the RATIONAL choice!
Your response was unnecessarily harsh.

Get involved?
Uh... no. It's not. And trust
Uh... no. It's not. And trust me, I've been far more vitriolic to people who have asked far stupider questions. The point is if your in Private Equity you should know that doing your own due diligence is essential. That includes exhausting other resources before you start asking questions. This question has been asked before. In two minutes of searching on the first page alone I found ~8-10 topics relevant to your question. How does the fact that I can make a simple query on the subject and you can't? It's called do the work yourself and then ask questions if you can't find something related to the topic.

This.
Besides not wasting posters' prior efforts and good posts, it's also good to build on an existing thread to provide new info as well, so all the answers are in one (or at least fewer) places.
So its rational to do
So its rational to do incrementally less work (though I would argue that posting this was more work than searching for any of the other 100 threads on this) on your end because it saves you time and effort and fuck everyone else. You're gonna go far kid.
