Distressed IB -> PE or Distressed IB -> MBA -> PE
Title is the question. Additional information that might be of help: transition to PE would be after 4yoe total, and the focus would be distressed PE.
My thought process/question is this:
-
Will it be harder to get into M7 (specifically HSW) with 6yoe compared to 4yoe, or will it be harder to recruit for distressed PE without having PE exp. pre-mba?
-
Will I have to go get an MBA anyway if I went IB -> PE, and if so, what are the thoughts on being ~30 years old when graduating from an MBA program?
Any thoughts are appreciated, my current thinking is that distressed world is less structured than traditional buyout PE and I would probably be fine doing an MBA first, but then when I think about that, I wonder if the MBA is even a value add. Semi-target undergrad for reference.
