Out of college, I did two years at a BB in IB. I recruited for PE very early on, and I didn't really have the chance to experience much of IB by the time I accepted my offer. Now after having finished two years in IB and one in PE, I find that I want to move back to IB for the long haul. Is it possible to recruit for associate without getting an MBA since I did a two year analyst gig?

Yes but you're most liely not going to get a boost as in come in as a VP in IB if that's what you're thinking. Will be an associate and potentially behind others who stayed at your bank for the whole time.

EDIT; Looks like you edited your post but yes, should be very doable to become an associate since you did two years in IB and one in PE. One in PE should oimpress them!
Richard read the post. He said associate.
This person edited their post. I ahve edited too!
If you do a third year in PE, you can recruit for VP positions. A relative of mine did 2 years IB, 2 years PE, 1 year at a HF and got hired as a VP at a lower BB.
I know people who have been able to move back as an IB associate from the buyside, no problem.
Did you move back to IB? Considering the same move from buyside to IB and wondering what your VP experience is so far
