Opinions needed regarding how difficult it is to move from MM M&A Associate (post MBA Ivy League - Top 3 US MBA) to a middle market PE or HF in London or Frankfurt. Background in Management consulting and summer internship at BB M&A team in London.
TO add: Not going to BB IBD post MBA, since I didn't like the group I was working with so ended in declining offer!
