I have only managed to land a Deal Strategy role at PWC (awkward time of year to recruit, plus finding a visa sponsor in another country left me with only this choice).

Are you in the UK? This can be quite country specific. Assuming you are in the UK: - If you want to go into a large / upper mid market fund: you need to move to BB/EB banking or consulting (MBB ideally) - If you want to go into mid market / lower mid market fund: you may stay at PWC and then recruit
I started at KPMG Corporate Finance, moved to banking (Tier 1 BB) after 2 years, then moved to BB fund after 4 years of banking, so it is definitely doable
