Oliver Wyman to Private Equity

Haven't seen this path covered in a while and would be curious to hear what insights people have. I'd be trying to go the route from consultant to PE (working on due dilligence M&A cases and trying to leverage that experience to get a position at an operations/performance improvement group in PE.)

I realize there's a lot of preference for MBB so I'm swimming up river in that sense, but would be very interested to hear what advice/thoughts people have for making it work.
