Is it bad to reject a PE offer to keep recruiting? Will the HH blacklist you if you do this or is this more common than not?

More common than you think. Would not renege on an offer though (accept and then decline)

I rejected one and didn’t get blacklisted. I just said cultural fit and location wasn’t my preference

Hey guys, I am an incoming Bain AC in europe (DACH region) and potentially looking into making the switch into PE later on in my career. Whilst i am aware that it is early to ask, what are some key aspects to follow, how/where to improve to potentially make the jump to a MF or UMM? Is there even a chance as a managment consultant? Do you know of people who managed the jump, if so what time of their career and how? I am asking this early as i know time flies when you then start working!
