Transitioning from Growth Equity (GE) to Middle Market (MM) or Lower Middle Market (LMM) Private Equity (PE) is definitely possible and has been done by many professionals. Your experience in sourcing at a well-known GE firm can be quite valuable in PE, as sourcing and deal origination are important aspects of the job, especially at MM and LMM firms.
Here are a few suggestions to help you make the transition:
Brush up on your technical skills: As you mentioned, coming from a consulting background, you might need to refresh or enhance your financial modeling and valuation skills. There are many resources available for this, including the WSO Academy's Investment Banking Prep course.
Network: Reach out to professionals in the MM and LMM PE space. This could be through alumni networks, LinkedIn, or even cold emailing. Networking can provide you with valuable insights into the industry and potentially lead to job opportunities.
Tailor your story: Be ready to explain why you want to make the switch from GE to PE and why MM or LMM specifically. Highlight the relevant skills and experiences you've gained in your current role that would be applicable to a role in PE.
Apply for roles: Look for PE associate roles that value your GE experience. Some firms might even prefer candidates with a GE background due to the unique perspective they bring.
Remember, every career path is unique and there's no one-size-fits-all approach. Good luck with your transition!

What type of GE is this? TAA or GA should be fine. TCV or earlier stage players maybe be trickier but if it’s a large shop don’t see why not.
Why do you want to move to buyouts - you don’t like sourcing?
Hey following up here, how is the sourcing? I am thinking of interviewing for a GE shop that's sourcing heavy but want to learn more about it
