Is it easier to go MBB to MF or MM PE to MF?
I am currently late stage in a process with a MM fund ($1B latest fund, $2B AUM) and my ultimate goal is to work at MF or large UMM. For context, I work at MBB and am within first 2 years in role out of undergrad.
Would it be easier for me to stay in MBB consulting and wait for the opportunity to lateral to MF directly? Or is it easier to go to MM to do 2 years at PE fund, and then lateral to MF?
MM fund has seemingly good culture, industry agnostic, strong returns, and is in location I am okay with. Also, doubled last fund size which seems to be good sign.
Never posted on WSO but looking for advice. Thanks!
mbb if you are MF caliber
Thank you! How do you define MF caliber? What evidence would point to being MF material or not?
MBB, assuming you check the other boxes and MF is a realistic shot for you. That said if you're 2 years in, you're getting to the now or never point where you need to recruit for MFs... consultants do get a bit more time but you can't wait forever.
Very very hard to swim upstream in PE. I would only jump to this MM if you are really interested in staying there or someplace similar.
