I mean if you can get in and want to be in the industry it seems like a no brainer... most people have to work sweatshop hours somewhere along the way in this line of work, whether it's IB, PE or both. Get the offer first. Just to be real, the likelihood of turning a fund accounting interview into an investment team interview at a $14B fund is basically 0 or even negative. Very likely not even the same recruitment team. If you don't care about the fund accounting role, shoot your shot but I would not be too hopeful here or getting too far ahead of yourself with this.
I would do 2 years of audit -> right to MBA and IB instead of trying to sneak in through FDD, that route has not been likely since the 2021 hiring boom
what is this local PE shop with $14 billion AUM that hires a bunch of non-targets right out of school lol
