It really depends. Usually I’d say if you’re at a top place like GS, PE is still a viable path as the brand name of the institution is great. I’ve seen some post mba associates go to newly formed pe funds as well as Vc (if you Have a tech focus). Most id say end up in Corp dev or some kind of finance roles. 2 things also worth mentioning - the pe recruiting situation for post mba bankers is fucked up states side (very regimented) and this is not the case in rest of the world; and if you’re a mbb or a t1 consultant before school and head to banking post mba at a decent firm, I’d say you have a good shot of jumping over to pe in a couple to a few years as you’ve presumably developed both financial and operating skills
Hmmm, interesting take. GS and MS are always gold. What about a lower BB, say something 6-7 in the league tables?
Either Corp dev or transition into more MM ib firms later on. I also know of one who went to a lower tier BB (ubs/Barclays/cs) after mba and is now at Providence / Leonard green / Warburg pincus type of firm so I suppose it’s possible. For full disclosure - I am a graduate of a MBA business schools">m7 b school and pre b school, had a stint in IB at a mid tier bB
Would like to hear someone stateside's take on PE recruiting post-MBA. Obviously not as regimented as you're viewed as pretty expensive at that point in your career, so top MM/MFs will pass you up for cheaper and likely more efficient talent, but surely there has to be room for post-MBA IB folks at less structured LMM/MM funds. Anyone have any data points, personal or anecdotal?
Interested in this. Know someone who went from an EB to MF Pe post mba. No prior banking or pe experience
Is this in the States? I have seen it happen a lot in Asia (pretty much every bg you can think of) , but not here
