What do VC firms look for when hiring folks with MBB experience? For context, about to join Bain fresh out of undergrad and really want to do the right things to develop an ideal profile for an exit into VC. Is it necessary to have worked on DD engagements? I know that DD skillset is highly specialized which is why I'm also working at a VC fund before Bain starts.

Appreciate any help, thanks!

Just go to Bain Capital Ventures - they often recruit internally

Bain & Co. and Bain Cap Ventures are not the same thing. There is no connection or “internal” recruiting pipeline. There is no reason getting a job at BCV would be any easier than getting a job at a NEA, Stripes Group, etc.

I unfortunately can’t answer OP’s question because I don’t know much about VC recruiting, but just wanted to clarify.
