I’m currently a first year at HSW coming from an industrials focused UMM firm (think CD&R/MDP/LG). I’m planning on recruiting for UMM or MF PE post-MBA but am debating accepting a tech PM role at a FAANG company for the summer. It’s not really related to what I want to do FT but it seems like interesting work at a big name company. Am I shooting myself in the foot by not doing PE for the summer? What concerns me is that it seems like a lot of the firms I’m interested in are getting more and more structured and sourcing FT VPs from their summer programs.

The handful of people I personally know in post-MBA PE roles out of HBS/GSB that did some sort of Operational role for their summer internship, typically already had their post-MBA PE jobs secured (usually a return to the firm they worked at as an Associate, which I know CD&R and MDP do give returns) prior to taking on their summer Operational role, where they could afford to f*ck around and try a new/different experience, knowing they had something to fall back on. From what it sounds like you don't have your post-MBA PE role secured yet, so in my opinion you would really be shooting you
