PE Ops at a megafund, somewhat involved in operational DD, which i enjoy doing. Is there a pathway into an Investment team role within PE or even GE in the future? Would an MBA help?

I am an exec at a MF portco who came from PE M&A DD consulting and going from ops team to investment team is really hard. If pre-MBA you can explore internally what that path could look like but investment side is 80% bankers vetted from top BB IB’s and the other 20% are from MBB consulting firms and top T2 firms with strong PE DD practices like LEK and EYP.

OP, when I said DD, I meant work at a consulting firm in their PE practice. You’ll do 10-12 DD (CDD/VDD) in a year so that will get you a lot of reps. After a year, start networking and recruiters will also reach out and then exit to deal team in a pre-MBA role.

Prior to Accenture, I have already served as S&O Manager with Deloitte India for ~1.5 yrs - so this would be my second stint with Deloitte as Manager "again".

2 questions:
1. Should I ask for Senior Mgr (AD) grade - to which they have already said NO
2. Is GBP 76.5K sitting at the lower end of M grade in Deloitte UK? What should be a good expectation for the role
