How to break into Growth Equity out of undergrad?

I'm very interested in joining a top growth equity firm full time upon graduation (Insight, Summit, TA, GA, Vista, etc...). I struck out at the top firms SA positions (junior) but still hoping to go through ft recruiting. What is the best route to take for my junior summer to give myself the best chance at being qualified/getting interviews at top firms-> growth equity at smaller firm/IB/or private equity or even joining an established startup? Going through the early stages of the interview process for each but would like to know which one would give me the best shot.

I spent my sophomore summer at early stage vc so would like to get a position where I could do something more finance heavy.


Any advice would be great!

 

Didn’t even notice you listed smaller GE as an option. That would be by far the best, especially if you already have an in already.

 

IB/PE would be best, startup (established and growing, especially if you are in some strategy esque role) would also be good. Big tech is also an option. Also networking is very important and generally looked upon favorably (hustle, etc) in growth equity as it is a big part of the job itself.
