How critical is networking to land a PE ops internship as an MBA from MMB? Curious on how the answer differs between larger funds vs lower - middle market funds. If my goal post MBA is an ops role / CXO, what can I do today or in my first year to boost my chances. 6 YOE, 1 of which spent running a startup and rest in MBB & other consulting firms.

I got into a few processes with minimal proactive networking. Sometime firms will reach out themselves if they find your resume promising.
