Starting directly in PE from grad school
Hey WSO,
22 year old at a UK target here. I've done two BB internships in my western european home country, and my goal is to work in MM PE. I know that in my home country, for students with a strong profile it is possible to start directly in MM PE. I have been approached by headhunters for PE internships, but I am hearing from some more senior people in PE that they strongly recommend me to go the traditional consulting/banking 2-3 year into PE route, rather than starting in PE.
What do you guys think about the pros and cons of starting directly in MM PE out of grad school?
