2024/25 MBA grads, how has PE recruiting gone?

Curious what your profile was before your MBA, which tier MBA you landed at, how recruiting went/is going, what type of firm you landed on, and title/comp. Curious if the experience was worth it for you too.

Can't imagine anyone at MF PE went to MBA, without firm backing, or unless they were pivoting from a non-buyout team (i.e., Secondaries, credit). Even then - I'm not convinced an MBA is the best move.

Interested to learn/see though
