Is it common to get into PE after your Master's? (Europe)

Currently doing a MFin at a top 5 European BSchool (think St. Gallen/Bocconi/LBS) with a 2 year previous experience in a small PE. I heard that PE does a lot of out of grad recruiting in the States. Is this also possible in Europe? Or will I have to take the typical IB then PE route?
