MBB associate and ex-banker shooting for MM PE
Hi,
After MM bank, I decided to transition to MBB consulting to get hands-on experience in strategy/operations and get broader exposure to different industries.
I'm approaching 2 years at my MBB, not particularly enjoying the job as while the work is generally interesting, there's a lot of non-value work I have to do e.g. dewording slides, adjusting slide visuals, etc. what you typically find in client-facing roles.
I'm interested in transitioning to a PE associate role in the near-term where I would like to go deeper on 1-2 verticals and be more focused around aspects of banking and consulting I've enjoyed the most - working with models and more of the quant-heavy pieces of banking, and doing industry/company deep-dives in consulting.
Has anyone had a similar experience or have any advice on how I can best position myself for potential opportunities?
I'm assuming there would be questions around why I decided to pursue strategy consulting after banking vs. going straight into PE, and want to make sure I can weave a credible story as to why.
Sounds like you'd have a pretty great background for most of the MM shops. I'd imagine recruiters would be happy to help you find something. Given you have a target background, I'd start there.
MBA plans or no?
I do have plans for MBA but willing to push back the timing for the right opportunity
