MBB Consulting >> Megafund PE Possible?

Just a quick question, does anyone have any experience or knowledge if consultants from MBB can move to megafunds or if it's limited to MM PE? I researched on WSO and found places like Bain Cap or Golden Bridge that really love consultants and I know PE is possible as a whole. However, I was curious if megafunds like Blackstone, KKR, or Apollo take any consultants from MBB?

“Matt was so helpful at giving me specific advice. I also really appreciated that he did research in advance to help me. I feel a lot more confident for my interview and I also walked away with good prep advice and materials. I would one hundred percent meet with him again. I felt like he actually wanted to help me and see me suceed. I have an interview in two days and was definitley axious about it before meeting with him. I feel a lot calmer and confident in my skillset and aware of areas I should work on before the interview. ”

Management Consulting Mock Coffee Chat

“He was very friendly and helpful throughout the session. He provided a lot of practical advice on how to approach coffee chats with consultants. We also did a quick mock coffee chat, during which he gave me detailed and constructive feedback on the types of questions I could ask, how to follow up on responses, and how to explore topics in greater depth. I found the session really insightful and feel much more confident about approaching future coffee chats.”

Consider searching Linkedin profiles and look at the background of the people who are working in the roles you want.
