Move to PE possible post-MBA?

I know there's the typical 2+2. I am wondering if it possible to move to PE after joining IB as an associate post-MBA? Would you enter PE as an associate if so? Also would the PE exits be UMM/MF or more like LMM/MM? All this considering no prior IB/PE experience pre-MBA.

Would appreciate any insight
