Value creation roles are accessible at all levels, but breaking in is currently challenging given the state of the private capital market. Your chances are significantly higher if you’re based in the U.S., London, or Munich/Frankfurt for the DACH region. One thing to keep in mind: in PE, ops roles are not at the core: you’re essentially supporting the investment team, not leading it.
Also, if you are thinking already about potential exits from McKinsey, be aware that transformation work often focuses on implementation. You may not get exposure to designing the transformation strategy from scratch. To build that skillset, try to get staffed on diagnostic phases early on (good way to develop rapidly your toolkit) that’s where you really learn how to define the ambition and structure the program, rather than just executing a pre-defined playbook…

Something to be aware of is also making sure you are not staffed as part of the TO multiple times otherwise you risk being pigeonholed
