Are exits to PE largely for “homegrown” Bain consultants, or are post MBA consultants at Bain (no consulting experience before bschool) able to exit as well

For investing teams? Pre-MBA folks, since they’re going into the associate role. For portfolio teams, more Managers + up with PEG experience (no difference whether they were ACs or not).

I haven’t seen it happen, mainly because it’s rare for someone to want to - they’ve gone to business school already. The associate role is the pre-MBA equivalent in the PE field.

It’s rare for post-MBA consultants to go into VP+ investing roles at PE firms because you generally need pre-MBA investing experience to be “eligible” for the very few post-MBA spots out there (if they don’t just promote from within).

Looking for some advice on a couple of offers I have.

The first offer is for an Account Executive position at a smaller company with a base of $50k and another $20k in OTE.

The second offer is for a BDR position at a larger and faster growing company with a base of $60k and another $20k in OTE. Also some stock options but they aren’t public yet.

I have 2 YOE as a BDR and think I could succeed in either position. Both have hybrid work set ups. Any thoughts or advice is appreciated! Thanks.
