Is it Possible with a 3.1 GPA?
Hey! I'm just ending off my first year in a five year Computer Science & Business double degree program at 2 separate universities (combined partnership program) the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University, with a 3.1 GPA. This summer, I've lined up a software engineering gig at big...
Is it easier to go MBB to MF or MM PE to MF?
I am currently late stage in a process with a MM fund ($1B latest fund, $2B AUM) and my ultimate goal is to work at MF or large UMM. For context, I work at MBB and am within first 2 years in role out of undergrad. Would it be easier for me to stay in MBB consulting and wait for the opportunity to...
Some MBB-PE statistics
As a consultant and a long-time WSO lurker, you can imagine how dearly I love LinkedIn, private equity, and graphs. I therefore dedicated my Saturday afternoon combining these interests, trawling LinkedIn for private equity companies and producing a graph for you, my fellow chimps. - Looks like the...
Office transfer or apply to IB from MBB
Situation: Upcoming MBB associate/consultant at post MBA level. Prior experience was corp strat at a major bank. Planning to move to PE investment side ideally after 2-3yrs. Ideally, I'd hope to work in a UMM/MF PE. Problem: I'm in a non-US office where PE is not as strong and consulting to PE is...
Consulting to PE - Strategy Roles
I am a current MBB consultant looking to transition to PE. It seems like there is a firm in Houston called The Sterling Group that is hiring someone in their Commercial Diligence and Strategy group. Does anyone know anything about them or the role? I think American Securities has a similar group.
Does location matter for consulting?
I was wondering for traveling consultants (think MBB) if the city you are based in matters in terms of exits. Would a F500 or PE MF be more likely to hire from McKinsey NY than McKinsey LA?
PE Opps for Consulting? (Doesn't have to be top tier)
Hey guys, So I just scored an internship with a near-top consulting firm next summer, where I'm hoping to focus on due diligence, analytics, and operations for their PE clientele. Assuming I perform well, I'll likely be hired as an Associate at the firm, where I'll get to work on PE projects full...
Big4 M&A consulting to MM PE in London
Hi all, I am currently working in a London big4 deals consulting team focusing on buyside operational / carve out due diligence, value creation and carve out execution and looking to make a transition to UMM PE funds in London.

Consulting to Portfolio Operations
I'm currently an analyst at Deloitte S&O and I'm trying to think through my next steps and I've recently learned about Portfolio Operations. PE is a space that I'm interested in and it seems like that would be the logical landing place due to my experience in consulting rather than deal experience....
Should I take an offer from a small fund?
I work at a tier-2 management consultancy in the private equity team, mostly focussed on CDD and post-deal strategy engagements. I've been offered an associate role at a small growth cap fund in London - should I take it, or hold my nerve and continue to try for one of the bigger names? I've been...

After I-Banking and Consulting...Thinking Outside of the Box.
Many of the investment banking and consulting analysts on WSO will try this path: IB analyst/Consulting associate --> junior position at private equity/hedge fund --> D'oh. This. Is. Not-quite-what-I-thought-it-would-be. --> something else/Business School --> Ah, now I have a better idea. --> Launch...
