Noted. Perhaps I should clarify that my interest is with these PE firms that will pay for the MBA and take you back in a post-MBA role. I've been hearing a lot about the uncertainties with recruiting for PE out of MBA even with people that have previous MF PE experience. Therefore, if I'm already at a place where I like the people, fund size/direction, and they are willing to keep me on, definitely would be huge factor. This is definitely a best-case scenario and I don't know if I'd get this lucky
