PE Recruiting from a MM PE Analyst role

How do PE firms consider MM PE analysts for recruiting? Historically the top funds have only taken bankers and consultants from top groups, but I'm wondering how they'd look at someone with 2 years as a PE analyst (at a shop where associates come from BB/EBS) compared to someone who did the 2 years of IB at a BB/EB themselves.

PE Analysts are a relatively new phenomenon, so it would be great to hear any stories of these analysts moving to other associate roles, or insights from PE professionals/recruiters as to how they'd evaluate a PE analyst.

 

Bro... modeling tests are a check-in-the-box in interview processes. 

 

I feel like this point is a bit exaggerated. I agree that having a perfect model doesn't guarantee an offer (I very much believe that the process of deciding on the outcome of a candidate is far more subjective then people like to admit). However, knowing the modeling ability of my peers in a decent BB banking group and my peers at a target school, I would be very very surprised if most people who get offers aced their modeling tests. I think getting models down right is far more rare than the norm.
