Hi there,
Used to work for a small buyside debt fund. Now at a top 15 MBA program. Repeat consensus is that post-MBA -> PE is extremely tough. Does screening syndicated deals showcase enough complimentary skills to make a case for PE? Is jumping into an alternative investment group at a PE shop the better entry point?
Thanks

I, too, am at a smaller buy-side debt fund and am interested in your story. What was your process of getting into grad school/ test scores? Did you pursue MBA because you felt limited otherwise?
I have never heard that post-MBA PE is in-penetrable, especially with a background in PD. I'd think that their both individually sub-par to IBD MBAs, but together they should make for a strong candidate?
Edit: forget it.
