I'm currently an analyst at Huron Consulting Group and am interested in going into Private Equity. Given the competitive atmosphere behind PE recruitment, how can I stand out since PE prefer consultants from larger consulting firms (MBB or Big 4) and banking backgrounds? Should I apply to MBB first and then go into PE? Would getting an MBA while working at Huron help my chances?
