Up-tier in PE after MBA?
Is it possible to do a few years at an MM PE shop after EB IB and then go to a top UMM/MF after M7 MBA? I don’t really want to go MF, but I want to keep the door open and I’m down to do MBA.

Simply put, no. Maybe MM -> edges of UMM, but MF is not happening.
There are far fewer post-MBA spots than pre-MBA, and a lot of these are already spoken for by candidates already at the firm who are sponsored for an MBA... even MF PE -> MBA -> MF PE can be difficult.
Absolutely agree. And adding on, there is an pretty big difference between HSW and the rest of the M7 in terms of access to UMM/MF PE opportunities. Even from HSW, it’s almost impossible but from the rest it’s definitely impossible
Not impossible, but I think a bit challenged in the current PE career meta...too many shops moved to direct promote models when market was red hot and we needed VPs and now there's too few seats being created while the market is slow. If your goal is to swim upstream, I'd think you'd have better odds catching opportunistic lateral opportunity off cycle than a dedicated "MBA on cycle" but I haven't seen data to prove or disprove that statement
