IB to PE - Non-engineer background

India specific - One question I get asked often is how did I manage to land a job in PE as a non-MBB/ IIT graduate (I am a chartered accountant with a Master’s in Commerce) Happy to share my story/ answer any queries that may arise about my transition. Please comment if anyone’s interested and we can take it from there.
