Private Equity Progression (Undergraduates)

Hey monkeys Are there any undergrads here in the PE, or M&A path that have done high finance internships in BB or even middle market banks or private groups. And what PE concepts and skills would you say you’re reaching the ‘expert’ skill level on. i.e I finally know how to underwrite put struggle with LBO sometimes. I’m working In IB M&A Technology next summer, I have an internship this summer as an M&A intern @ a tech company and want to see what skills other undergrads get to perfect in the jobs or school courses.
