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.
