Just recieved an offer to join BCG, but long term am interested in trying to jump over to deal team PE.

For those who have done it before, what is the best approach to:
1. Begin prepping now for interviews
2. Positioning myself to work DD cases (this seems to be a clear required step)
3. Understanding general hiring pipeline for MBB into these funds (recruiters, MBB friendly firms, etc)

Are you looking for your next job before you start your current one?

Would suggest #4. Kick ass and be distinctive in BCG, more doors will open that way.

Thank you both! I appreciate the reccomendations as well as the candid perspective.

Joining ring fence/doing DDs is not a requirement by any means. Like others have said, first focus on doing well at BCG. Then google the big consulting HH firms - CPI, amity, Oxbridge, Charles Aris, etc. then go from there

Join the ring fence team once you’re in - I haven’t, but I’ve heard it’s basically PE bootcamp.

Its not PE bootcamp but it does teach important parts of the process and helps you think like an investor. It does not teach you modeling or the broader complexities of a deal

Hello fishes,

I have 6 and half YOE in front end development. (angular and hybrid applications). I joined my current organization ( product based) in Feb for 24LPA.

Or could it because my CTC is too high ?
