Got advice saying I should join PE right out of undergrad because I'm an asset to them - thoughts?
Hey everyone, let me give some context. I am a student in the US (non-target, graduating Spring 2027) with US green card holder originally from Saudi Arabia. I have experiences at BB corporate banking off-cycle, a previous MBB summer internship, a big-4 summer internship, and I'm in a final round EB investment banking internship for this summer. Everything I have worked at so far was extremely closely related to SWF work (including the Electronic Arts LBO and other deals). A mentor asked me, "Why do you want to do IB?", and I mentioned to him I would want to break into PE in the US. He then replied "you can apply right out of undergrad, if you play your cards right you can be a huge asset to the PE companies working alongside the SWFs". I had never considered this but it feels like a huge stretch. I was wondering, is this advice "fairytales and fantasies"? Or is there some legitimacy of what he's saying? It feels like a big fantasy in my opinion but I thought I would ask here. Thank you!
Seems like an enormous stretch to me. One junior employee who happens to be from Saudi Arabia is not going to make any difference (unless you're leaving out that you are the crown prince's son)
