going to LMM now or staying at MBB if goal is UMM?

Hi monkeys. im currently pre-mba consultant at MBB and my goal is to get into UMM/MF, but i currently have a LMM offer (fund size is 1b). Does it make more sense to get into LMM now and shoot for UMM for summer 2024 or should I stay at MBB and continue recruiting for UMM? i would assume LMM makes more sense since any deal experience is more translatable to UMM than MBB. Thanks!

“Javier Barrena provided really detailed walkthrough on how he approached a similar tasking before, and although I entered the session not knowing how to approach this case study at all, I have a much clearer picture now. This session was extremely effective, and it's fortunate that he had the availability to do this despite my case study task coming in at a very last minute.”

“Jorge was very practical and generous with his time. He gave me a clear action plan: tighten my elevator pitch to under 2 min, do a weekly modelling case study, and prep technicals, market questions and behaviourals. His networking advice (always ask each contact for 1-2 more names, track fund closes to spot hiring windows, a list of London infra headhunters) was very actionable. He also referred me internally to Nuveen within a week. Only point to improve: I’m still waiting for his feedback on the case studies I sent.”
