Incoming analyst at a decent MM firm, and tbh I should probably have cared more about my grades but ended up with a 66% in undergrad from a target university. How much will this hurt me in comparison to those with firsts for PE recruitment? Appreciate any help I can get!

Unless you're set on MF / UMM firms where prestige / signaling is very real, people don't care as much if you have good experience (i.e. good bank or lots of reps at smaller firm). You will certainly get questions about it so hopefully you have good answers (needed to work your way through school, some family hardship / other circumstance that made it difficult to go to class, etc.).
A 2:i is certainly not a bad grade in the UK, especially one on the higher side…it’s not a first but it’s about a 3.6-3.7 GPA in the US, highly doubt it’s something he’d be asked about a lot of would have to constantly justify
Noted... didn't realize that's how UK grading worked!
