This question might be stupid, but I am a S&T guy so I don't know much about PE. A guy I know at b school just got a summer associate spot at Blackstone IB. He told me that if he works there for 2-3 years after school then he is "basically" guaranteed a job at Blackstone PE. Is this true? How hard is it to get a job at Blackstone IB vs Goldman? btw, this guy had no previous finance experience before school.

Yeah, one of my best friends got a summer associate offer from BX M&A and a summer offer from Barclays. He took BX because he said, "dude, they get their PE guys from their M&A advisory arm." He finished the summer without an offer. Anecdotal evidence to demonstrate a near-iron-clad point: NO NO NO. The crossover is incredibly hard, and even though it seem logical that they would pick their PE guys from their M&A best-in-breed, the reality is as follows: they already HIRED post-MBA PE guys. They don't need people from their M&A group.
