I had to take a slightly longer route to break in and worked a number of boutique IB roles and Big4 management consulting pre-IB.
I’ve noticed a lot of people have clean LinkedIn profiles. I.e university followed by IB analyst and then associate role.
Should I delete my pre-IB roles across no-name boutique and management consulting to make my profile “cleaner”

No. They detail your previous experiences, why would you want to delete them? Your profile is more built out than some 23yo who interned and went FT at the same shop. Embrace your prior experience.
I would also like to add that the OP’s past experiences could help others networking going through a similar path of consulting or boutique IB to BB IB.
What about internships during college?
I’ve removed them as it saves me 10 seconds having to explain I went from a prior life to IB.
I deleted all of my previous experiences.
Kept featuring my non target education.
So people will look at my linkedin wonder how the hell I got into HF?
Lmao
I'd say you can eliminate your internships once you list your second job, unless you feel the internships are still very relevant to your career objectives. But if you did a couple of IB internships and then worked FT in IB for two years as an analyst before going to PE ... the extra internships don't add too much.
I spent over 7 years at an auto parts distributor in various roles. I’m keeping all of it and would recommend you do the same.
I agree with the top comment. Keep it! It's your story. Who you are. You're already in IB - and I think people will appreciate the "non traditional" path. Though, time spent at Big4 is hardly revolutionary haha.
Similar path to you. Could I pm you to discuss your path to banking?
Sure
dude said "sure" and kept profile as anon LMFAO fuckin dead
If you are still willing to chat, you can also click on my username and pm me too (I am the original person who asked to pm you).
lol
