BB PE SA for FT recruiting?

Signed GSAM/MSIM PE role for 2025 SA and wanted to keep options open in terms of FT recruiting for IB/PE. Have heard alot of conflicting information and wanted to get a clearer picture as I start networking for ft 2026. How would this role be viewed against more traditional banking candidates?

“Jorge was very practical and generous with his time. He gave me a clear action plan: tighten my elevator pitch to under 2 min, do a weekly modelling case study, and prep technicals, market questions and behaviourals. His networking advice (always ask each contact for 1-2 more names, track fund closes to spot hiring windows, a list of London infra headhunters) was very actionable. He also referred me internally to Nuveen within a week. Only point to improve: I’m still waiting for his feedback on the case studies I sent.”
