Possible? Sure. Easy? Hell no. Everyone and their mothers want to work in PE, and you'd be competing with people from IB and grads from M7 business schools.

Best bet is to go to big4 TAS/FDD, then to IB, then to PE.

Almost impossible. You'll need to do FDD > IB > PE, with ideally a top MBA somewhere in between.
