What is a potential path for someone post H/S MBA looking to enter consumer growth PE? Post MBA title / comp?
Never had finance experience prior. Spent 4 years doing business development / product strategy for consumer brands focused in luxury fashion (LVMH, Kering).
I guess this is a farfetched path so feel free to say so if it’s not realistic.

It does seem a bit farfetched given consumer VC won't likely focus on the branded side as your experience has been grounded (which is cool as fuck by the way). But it may be worth networking hard while you're in your program (assuming you're not in it yet) with funds that excite you and trying to edge in that way. A lot of VC funds don't have super structured processes and will sometimes take tech bankers or product managers from FAANG companies or even the right person from a successful startup. So it's not unreasonable and I think could maybe be doable
You won’t get hired without transaction experience. Best bet is to go to IB and recruit from there
