I've had a number of friends exit to pe ops. Yeah it isn't on the investment side, but they are still pulling down very good money (450k).

I do not. For one person it is based on the entire fund. For the others I have no idea.

Good chance of IB especially if you follow it up by a M7 MBA.

PE is very hard. The best you can do without IB experience is maybe in an operating associate / partner capacity. The real PE jobs on the investment side need an IB background regardless of your MBA’s prestige.

CDD - Maybe strat roles in Corp dev groups.also good for IB roles if followed by an MBA.

This is partially incorrect. If you have CDD experience from MBB you definitely can get into PE from investment side. If you’re at T2/T3 will be tougher but still possibly doable.

I applied to a job at KPMG and did the first two rounds of interviews, general interview, then case study and competency. Never before have I had such a positive feedback at the end of an interview of the 2nd, both said really like me, I did well etc.
It's now been 3 weeks since the interview and I still haven't heard back from the team other than the odd HR email saying they are following up with them. Is there something going on internally, I.e hiring freeze in the London office atm?
