Wall street oasis probably has the most info. At a lot of PE firms they want people to get an MBA before they can really advance, so you'd probably want to ask the recruiter if it's a 2 year program or if an MBA is expected if you want to stay long term

I’m a newly promoted consultant within MC at Accenture. I’m also not sure what salary range to expect. Does anyone have any recommendations on where I can go to learn more about the industry/what the longer term trajectory is for a fairly entry level PE role?

Not all PE firms are made equal. Do your diligence on firm culture and whether there’s a path up the firm (with or without business school) before deciding

Also look at the funds returns (not easy.) Career depends on raising follow-on funds

What do you think made them reach out? ACN primarily doesn’t seem to feed into finance based on its reputation and since it’s tech heavy
