I have an interesting background, I was at a PE firm for 3 years 2B fund and moved to the financing side at a MM leveraged finance group. What are the chances of me landing an M&A position at a bulge bracket bank? let's say that i want to skip the MBA process, is this feasible to possibly join on as an associate? thanks for any advice.

What made you move from PE? There are definitely BB M&A guys who would be happy to land at a $2B PE fund.
It was too focused on one industry, and plus, i wanted financing perspective.
Were you more operations at the PE fund or an analyst/associate?

I hate to sound like a broken record, but networking can get you almost anything in this industry. Have you tried contacting alumni from your old school? If you were at a target, I'm sure they can give you good advice.
