Bain PE Group Advice

Hi guys,

I'm currently pursuing MBA and interested in PE. I understand that it's not that easy, especially that I'm looking for Europe (am European). Thinking to go to Bain PE group. Is it real to get right after MBA or should I go to usual consulting intake and then switch to the right group?

Honestly tried to search, but couldn't. Hope for your sharing.

P.S. Really interested in Bain, while any other thoughts would highly appreciate.

Thank you BR
