2nd Year TMT IB Analyst here at a small, no-name boutique looking to break into GE / PE in NY. Been networking and applying to jobs. Have gotten into a number of interview processes but wondering if I should try to get into a smaller buyside shop then lateral before B school or after B school - any thoughts? Also, would love to hear how I can best differentiate myself?

Sanity check. Going to preface this by saying I'm not in a rush. I wanted to get some good consulting experience so joined EY out of UG.

I lack the resume experience.

Thinking to move within EY to an M&A focused group SaT or EYP. Do ~2 years and see if I still want that. Will that tick the box for most PE shops?
