Genuine question - so those MBA grads, where do they go if joined MBA from PE? IB Analyst post undergrad > Private equtiy > MBA > Back to PE firm? Also, for those wout IB exp prior to MBA, I assume majority start at IB as an associate. Now other than natural progression, any other routes? is PE pivot pretty much for those with IB analyst exp?

I’d say most go back to PE. Some may pivot slightly to VC or Growth Equity, using the intern years to explore something new. Others may go to Corporate Development doing M&A for large companies. There’s also entrepreneurship, search fund, etc.

What's the thought process behind getting a MBA if you're already in PE only to return back to PE? Is it for better PE?

For better PE.
