3 years into management consulting at T2. Recently grown strong interest in PE. After having multiple discussions with HHs, seems off-cycle recruitment will be challenging. Therefore, planning to enroll in a MBA or Masters Program e.g., MFE.
No prior IB experience, undergrad in Math & Statistics.
How realistic is the approach? Preferred Masters Programs? Alterative suggestions on effective recruitment? Any other thoughts?

I'd suggest recruiting directly now. MBA will not help you based on your background. See this thread:
