Going from MM (Baird/Blair) to EB/BB or PE
I currently have an offer at Blair, and my friend has an offer at Baird. We both realize that we want to do large-cap private equity in the future, but we're arguing about how difficult the process will be for us.
My friend at Baird thinks he needs to first get into a bulge bracket like JPM or BofA to get attention and credit from large-cap PE firms like KKR or BX.
On the other hand, I think that if we just grind it out for two years and network consistently, we can transfer directly into large-cap PE.
Is it even possible for us to switch, and if it is, who's strategy is better?
Listen to your buddy
Its very hard to get into large cap PE from even a BB...don't really have a shot from MMs
