Going "up-stream" post-MBA?

Hi guys:

I woud really appreciate it if someone could shed some light on how to go "up-stream" (aka, go to better funds) post-MBA please. My background is a career switcher into PE pre-MBA (after undergrad, I did 3 years of S&T, then switched into private equity at a Tier-4 fund. I then did my MBA at a top 5 school in US, and I'm currently working at a Tier3 fund).

My challenge with my current fund is that it's not very active. I'm worried I won't have meaningful deal experience. I'd also like to go to a place where people think more like investors (at my current place, people think like bankers, returns are not always great even though it's not horrible).

I'm open to move to HF or PE....but I'm just wondering if you can share your thoughts or experience on how to move upward to higher quality funds post MBA?

Thanks!
