Anyone who can share their thoughts/path from Equity Research to Private Equity in Europe?
Not sure if that’s even a common path, but maybe somebody could say a few words how PE funds look at ER analysts/associates? Is it more difficult to get than going straight from IB? What skills specific to ER help you the most in PE job?
Thanks in advance!

This doesn't happen. Maybe it has in a few rare cases but it's exceptionally rare. For all intents and purposes, you should consider this a non-option. If you wanna do PE go to IB.
Thanks for the answer, any idea why that is? I always thought that you would surely learn a good deal of fundamental business analysis over some time spent in ER. Is that because of lack of experience in M&A deals?
Yes, you have no deal experience. No experience with private markets.
Do you reckon that an internship in ER (3 months) would be looked upon as a disadvantage? It would be an addition to a 3 months long internship in IB converted into FT, which was then accepted
I don't see how that could work against you. There's nothing wrong with ER.
Transfer internally after 1-2 years to IB and then go to PE. Seen it happen quite a few times.
