Post MBA Associate at MBB jump to HF or PE
Does anyone have opinions or datapoints on people who work at MBB post MBA and then want to switch to PE or HF? To be specific, lets assume that the person doesn't have finance experience pre-MBA and we are focusing only on the merits of a top 5 MBA program and 2 yrs work experience post MBA at MBB.

Well, I thought about it ... but I was born overseas, like Obama ...
Why not try now?
Philosophical Monkey - thanks for the response. I cannot leverage my poopy pre-mba work experience (operations role in finance, i.e. backoffice monkey) i did try a few PE/HF shops but gave up.
Ideating - thank u too :) this was my first post and i am glad to get friendly response and a chukkly. When u say "internal job posting" u mean within the strat firm they have some sort of job board?
What is the trend between financial engineering based deals vs. deals involving operational growth? is that related to the type of skillset HF and PEs will be looking for?
