Next Step? From Small-Medium sized REPE GP to top firm

currently working as an investment analyst (less than a year but have 3 other finance internships ib and vc) at a smaller GP repe firm and would like to eventually end up at a large firm (top 20) and was wondering what advanced degrees/networking/other things I could do to get me to that next step.

Was considering MSF/MSRED/MBA/MBA-JD? Or would a certification be better?

Thanks!!

I’d say pick 2 and go for it. Getting a MSF and MSRED back to back could truly boost your credentials and get you in front of some big name PE people
