Chances of getting into PE straight out of undergrad?
I'm wondering whether it is worthwhile to pursue obtaining a private equity job straight out of undergrad or not. What type of firms hire out of undergrad and what can I do to increase my chances?
Additionally, say getting in straight out of undergrad isn't an option, would 2 or 3 years of IB experience be beneficial? Going to business school isn't really financially viable for me so I'm wondering what the other paths of getting into PE would be.
Thanks.
You need to spend some more time reading around this forum. This question has been answered ad nauseaum.
Strongly agree with @lonelyman" -- don't be lazy -- read what has been written.
google it
What do you mean "is it worthwhile"? As others said, many posts on WSO about PE analysts and firms that recruit college grads (such as KKR, Silverlake, LG&P, Blackstone)

Hey guys , if you are out of college which PE house is best to chose, which accepts analysts `?
are all entry position jobs based on cold calling ?
i assume that because you use the term "unis" you are in europe.
only in Europe will you find any decent PE shops that hire undergrads. in America, you will not.
