I am wondering, for an MBA student looking to make a transition to PE in the long term what is the best course of doing this (without prior PE/IB exp)? ***Would experience working at a Big 4 in M&A Advisory consulting or strategy consulting be similar or equivalent to experience at a BB IB? or EB?
Thank you
