Hi folks - I’m a post MBA associate at top BB groups (think GS TMT/MS M&A/JPM HC). Before MBA, I did banking for 4 years at lower BB (think Barcap/Citi/UBS) doing sector coverage.
Do I have a shot at PE? If any, at what level/title and should I target lower MM shops? When should I make the move?
Serious question: why did you come back to banking after an associate after 4 years pre-MBA? And, are you on an accelerated path because of your previous associate stint?
Yes. I think Senior Associate is most likely where you end up but you might be able to swing VP at a LMM firm. I'd focus more on comp than title and seeing if you'll get cut into the carry / put on an upward trajectory.

I did this; you do have a shot, planning on making a post about this.
