Private Equity in Germany, Austria or Switzerland from a Non Target School

Hello,

I did my degree in political science and business management in a British top 70 world ranking university (lets say Glasgow, Sheffield, Leeds, Nottingham) and i'm doing my masters in Finance in a British top 200 world ranking university (let's say Liverpool, Aberdeen, Exeter,Lancaster). Furthermore, I have working experience in political communication in the UK (lets say BBC, CNN ) and investment fund analysis and business development in Southern Europe ( Zurich Insurance Group or Aon). My dream is to work in private equity in a German speaking country, is it possible with my background? (I am fluent in German).

Thank you for your advice.
