I've taken a job with JPM Commercial Bank (MM), and I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on breaking into PE from this market. What should I try to do at JPM to set myself up for PE?
Any insight would be much appreciated.

I'd probably want to gravitate towards Credit&Financing, learn asset backed or some related form of structured finance, or work on capital raising. Both seem pretty applicable/useful for PE. You're not going to get headhunted though.. maybe start networking now.
