Wondering the possibility of moving from a PCA or PFG / PFA SA to M&A or FSG team FT. Have PE sophomore experience on the resume with some technical experience. Is it even worth to move or should I just try to lateral after a year. Goal is to do MM / UMM PE eventually, although interested in secondaries.
