Hi,
I'm joining an MBB firm at undergrad level (BA/AC/A) with a view to join MF or UMM PE after two years at a consultant-friendly shop (Bain, Advent, etc. in London)
Is it realistic to join a deal team after two years at MBB? Is the competition for consultant-friendly seats particularly fierce? Or can I reasonably expect to land a spot, given good interview prep etc?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
