Hi all,
I am currently coming up on my one year at a PE fund that focuses on TMT investments in the mid-market space (<$1B buyouts). I want to make a transition to consulting for two reasons: 1) better career flexibility and 2) learn a broader skillset relative to just investing in companies.
I am thinking of targeting solely MBBs and I wanted the community's advice on what my best foot forward could be and how I can position myself. I was wondering if I could go in as an "experienced hire" for their offices and what my interview preparations should look like + any timelines I should be aware of!
A bit on my background, I come from a mid-tier undergrad program where I finished with a 3.5 GPA, but had a chance to do three really solid internships at reputable PE funds and investment banks. Historically, there has not been much presence from my school at MBBs but recently, there's been two or three kids a year that place at these firms.
Looking forward to hearing back from you all!
