Hi there,
I am currently an Associate at Strategy& (Germany) and have the goal to switch to a PE Fund (Mid cap preferrably). As i dont know too many people who did that move i have questions maybe you could answer:
1. Do these funds only look at MBB or do they also look at T2 consultancies? So is a move to MBB beforehand a must?
2. I have a background with IB and PE internships and a Msc in Finance. Moreover, i have quite some financial modeling experience on projects. Does that increase my chances of getting invited?
3. What is the right time to make that career move? Should i wait so Senior Associate or Project Manager and do a MBA first?
4. Does it make sense to already start talking to headhunters and if yes who is specialized there?
Thank you to everyone who can help me!
