How does private equity recruiting work post-mba

Hey, let’s say I do an MBA from a M7 and had no prior investment banking experience, and did IB at a BB or EB.

how exactly could I recruit to private equity / growth equity? After 2 years I’d look for experiences? Would I go IB ASO -> PE ASO?

Really curious about this. Thank you!
