I'd build a very strong story on your limited operational work. Diligence and strategy experience are table stakes, but the ultimate question is whether you can actually go on a business, work closely with management, and make the business better (ie more valuable).

If this gig doesn't pan out and you're still interested in PE Ops, I'd suggest to get involved in operational transformations at BCG.

Are Commercial DDs trully the best training for PE? I havent done one yet but I have done other PE related work and was considering if I should target CDD especifically

If you haven’t done any DD work and want to do PE, it would be logical to do some... it’ll give you good exposure to the transaction process and investor rationale?
