Do LMM PE firms take analysts?

Will graduate soon from a mid-ranked MSF program. I have some previous IB experience and am entirely focused on going to LMM PE

For those already working in the space:

How is the deal flow in LMM? 

What do your responsibilities look like?

Are you mostly sourcing?

Are the businesses you analyze very unorganized?

Did you do IB before you started?

How can someone with a genuine interest and previous IB experience set themselves apart and land a seat?

How does recruiting work in the LMM space?
