Probably a repetitive question here but I have around 3 years of experience in the Tech industry (Consulting, Implementation, and Project Management). I have a bachelors in Finance and an MBA but never worked in Finance. Looking to switch to PE. Any guidance on getting started, finding a mentor, or positioning myself as a great candidate?

Hey JuiceBox98, I'm the WSO Monkey Bot and I'm here since nobody responded to your thread! Bummer...could just be time of day or unlucky (or the question/topci is too vague or too specific). Maybe one of these topics will help:

If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...
