Going to be joining KKR’s Client and Partner group (the role focuses on relationship mgmt and fundraising strategy) full time after graduating from college. My worry is that it’s a bit of a niche, smaller group. My dream is to head to HSW for my MBA at some point, and try for MBB recruiting (or even corpdev @ faang). Do y’all think this even possible? Could I have a shot coming from this sort of KKR group, esp if I have a good story? Thanks!

Yes, shouldn’t be a problem. This is the sort of pedigree admissions drool over.

However, I recommend staying at KKR for a few years then hop to a smaller PE after 2-5 years. Skip HSW and MBB. Most people at both aim for a job at KKR, if they are interested in finance.

If you can’t handle the workload, plenty of opportunities for exits.

I did this role at KKR’s CPG Role and gave up other offers in exchange for the name. Dont delude yourself - this is a back office role where you’ll be making slides, or doing event scheduling, random admin tasks like scheduling meetings between partners, and etc. looked down upon by the rest of the firm since it’s not an investor seat. The KKR name carries very far, but the role that you’re doing will limit your exits more than another job might. People like to stay at this position - IR is very niche & most people are on track to be lifetimers at this spot. Very cushy but the type of work I did made me want to gouge my eyes out lmao
