Non MBB -> PE?

I'm a target (H/Y/P/S/W) who accepted an offer at a pretty small boutique firm that recruits from target schools. Wanted to get a thread going to see if exiting to PE is still feasible? Would love to hear if anyone in similar situation has done it, if lack of name brand makes it infeasible, if on cycle recruiting is way to go, etc.

 

How big is the firm exactly? Can you be more specific about the general quality of the firm? 

If it's like a 50 person boutique, your chances at PE are probably slim. Some LMM might be interested if there is a fit of experience. Your best bet would be to lateral to IB or MBB/some T2 1-2 years in if you are deadset on PE.

 

To me it doesn’t make sense to go consulting at all if you really want PE. I think a person that can get a consulting offer from an MBB or T2 should be able to get an offer from a decent bank (given that consulting recruiting has become more competitive than banking in recent years). A T2 bank like BAML or Barclays will help you build a more relevant skill set and place you better into PE than even MBB
