Try and join the PE practices and/or get exposure to the financial services industry.

Thank you! Super helpful

Also looking at B capital Group for VC

Recruit for top IB (EB, BB, or too MM) if set on PE. Otherwise go MBB.

I’m starting at MBB when I graduate (interned @ EY-P), and understand it’s unideal but doable to go PE. I’m debating the buyside.

I go to a nontarget and already accepted MBB summer analyst so I don't think rerecruiting for banking is an option

Just for clarification, my goal is to start full time in buy side. I'm looking for funds that take analyst level roles

Just wanna give PE recruiting a try my junior year, but also another good option!

Do tech companies like FAANG hire strategy consultants? Starting at an MBB/T2 next year and curious if tech companies leverage consultants as much as other industries. Part of me wonders if they are in such high growth right now that consultants can’t add as much value, thus maybe a smaller presence. Thoughts?
