PE doesn’t recruit like other industries so it’ll be really tough. It’s usually through head hunters unfortunately. Would suggest jumping to banking or MBB/T2. At that point you’ll get annoyed with the amount of emails you get

You don’t learn about PE and jump to it. PE happens to do a certain few things and they hire people that also do those things.

PE is strictly experienced-based hiring. Of course you can twist your experiences to make them fit, but ultimately you can’t study a prep guide. Also if you fake the funk you’ll likely get fired quickly
