Non MBB -> PE?
I'm a target (H/Y/P/S/W) who accepted an offer at a pretty small boutique firm that recruits from target schools. Wanted to get a thread going to see if exiting to PE is still feasible? Would love to hear if anyone in similar situation has done it, if lack of name brand makes it infeasible, if on cycle recruiting is way to go, etc.

How big is the firm exactly? Can you be more specific about the general quality of the firm?
If it's like a 50 person boutique, your chances at PE are probably slim. Some LMM might be interested if there is a fit of experience. Your best bet would be to lateral to IB or MBB/some T2 1-2 years in if you are deadset on PE.
on cycle not happening from small boutique
get some deep sector experience and head to some relevant smaller funds where you can explain why you actually have differentiation (and are, separately, wicked smart)
or, move to MBB / BB / EB
If one is at LEK/EY-P/OW, is it worth trying to move to MBB before PE?
Not in my opinion - have seen associates in PE come from those firms.
Went from one of those to PE. Yes, definitely worth it.
Why do you say so?
Do you have any idea about Deloitte Corp Fin? have an offer for there full time next summer and was wondering if i could still break in

Does the firm rhyme with "Malt"?
To me it doesn’t make sense to go consulting at all if you really want PE. I think a person that can get a consulting offer from an MBB or T2 should be able to get an offer from a decent bank (given that consulting recruiting has become more competitive than banking in recent years). A T2 bank like BAML or Barclays will help you build a more relevant skill set and place you better into PE than even MBB.
Ouch, didn't realize that Barclays was T2.
>BAML better than McKinsey / Bain to PE placements
