I think you’ll still need to do some heavy networking and look at smaller funds as a jumping off point.

Shouldn’t be too hard coming from MBB. I would try to pivot within BCG to get some PE/VC strategy work under your belt. Ideally a longer term PE study or a quick DD. Beyond that, it’s all about the network, find funds you resonate with. you could also look into impact investment funds with VC models

Thank you! Super helpful SC2.

Depends. Which MBB?

They work for BCG

Joined ACN last month as a SA in CDP aligned to CFO&EV with clear intentions to transfer to strategy. I understand I need to "pay my dues", but my first project is a complete flop in terms of my goals and utilizing my prior experience.

Received an offer to join a boutique firm that deals primarily with MM PE firms. Pay is slightly higher, work seems much more interesting and intense, but the firm is very small and unknown. Is it reasonable to pursue ACN strat or leave for this firm?

TIA
