How hard is it to go to LS/healthcare PE from MBB post-PhD? Common knowledge is that after an MBA, it’s basically impossible to go to a PE firm. Given that PhDs enter at the same level as MBAs, is that true there too, or is it relatively common for people to get into PE/VC from consulting after their PhD? Just got an MBB offer and really want to find my way into the buy side and considering if this is the best move
