Chances of landing PE in Asia/LatAm/London post MBA
Any chances of breaking into PE in Asia/LatAm/London, as an MBA Intern or Post MBA Associate from INSEAD?
My background is:
- 3 years executing M&A at the largest investment holding in my country
- 1 year as an IB analyst in the FIG division at a BB, covering Latin America
- 2 years doing finance/strategy for a public company (retail)
Any suggestions and comments are super welcomed and would be very helpful
Thanks!
Personally have not seen anyone make this pivot without IB+PE prior experience in today’s market
I did IB! Then direct investments in a single f.office (currently Asso, w/ 3 closed deals)
With Insead (or any top US M7 school FT MBA program), you will get interviews given your background. In this market, you will need relevant pre MBA experience - which obviously you have.
Insead is considered a "super target", so you're in very good shape with interviews - getting an actual job will matter much more on actual interview performance and relevant team needs. LatAM / London should be very doable for you - Asia much harder given I assume you do not have the local language & culture fit.
After Insead I made it to private equity and I did not have prior IBD experience (I was a MBB consultant) - so very much doable.
Did you recruit for London or elsewhere in Europe?
