Post MBA IB to PE

Hi everyone,

I am 26y/o investments and capital market attorney from the middle east, after serving in the army for 3 years. My resume includes public offerings of billions, M&As, JVs, Spinoffs, countless financing rounds (both equity and debt) and bunch of regular corporate work

I've been willing to go to an Ivy League school to get an MBA (Wharton/Columbia/etc), and then to continue to IB (hoping to M&A/TMT or such), in order to eventually get into the PE industry (preferably in a valued boutique shop, not a mega shop).

You guys have any advices for someone with my circumstances?

THX!
