Will join a MM/EB FT in the US (think Greenhill/Guggenheim) and am considering PE Recruiting, specifically aiming for UMM/MF. Based on an accelerated recruiting timeline and strong emphasis on group, will I be at a big disadvantage compared to other banking groups when recruiting? I come from a target school with a 3.7 GPA
