Not many helpful responses yet haha. I would say the below are relatively consultant friendly (they take a few every cycle) with a focus on consumer (plus other sectors):
- Golden Gate (if you’re MBB)
- AEA (T2 or MBB)
- Prospect Hill Growth Partners
- Percheron Capital (T2 or MBB)
- L Catterton (if you’re MBB)

As others noted, you shouldn’t limit yourself to consumer-only if PE/GE is your goal. It’s pretty tough to get in even if you are industry agnostic. And as I mentioned before, the shops above only take a few consultants each year. In fact, Golden Gate hired 7 associates for this summer 2022 (check their LinkedIn post) and 4 were from consulting (2 McK, 1 Bain, 1 BCG). That’s how rare and difficult it would be if you want consumer, PE, consultant friendly.

Oh… and I didn’t include WLB bc I’m in PE currently and it definitely does not exist. I work weekends and am on call all day every day😭

L Catterton only hires bankers for their investment teams. Consultants for their ops team

I’ll take a realistic stab at this lmao compared to others - answer is probably Insight Partners, but that being said their work is 90% or so sourcing and you’ll be doing calls a lot, but I’ve heard the leadership levels are extremely cut throat

McK and EY - LOL!!

OP - getting into PE is very hard. The best of the best from banking and consulting pile in for a very limited number of roles. Therefore hours and culture aaaand WLB are terrible. But, they back up the money truck, so 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️
