Consulting Friendly MM PE Firms?

Hey Guys,

Currently a 2nd year MBB looking to exit to a MM PE firm (preferably for 2016 summer, but open to 2015). I've had a few interviews so far (unfortunately no offers) and trying to gauge what remaining MM PE firms haven't completed recruiting yet and are open to hiring former consultants. The overall process is quite a bit tougher than I thought, as many of the recognizable MM firms aren't open to hiring consultants in the 1st place and it's getting deep into that undesirable territory.

On a side note, if I don't get an offer, I'll just go to B-school next year. Given that most Post-MBA PE hires have Pre-MBA experience, how low would my chances be of securing something post graduation?

Thanks,
-IBT

 

HGGC and Golden Gate like consultants. GG has finished recruiting. HGGC is still in process I believe though.

One good rule of thumb to find MM firms friendly to consultants is look for places with early Bain Capital founders or MDs (e.g. - those above).
