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? Any industry knowledge, core skills that VC firms prefer?

Appreciate any help, thanks!

M, 100% agree that's important - I only asked about the 'right things' to excel in at Bain so that I can build up to my desired exit op :)

I would reach out to Bain alumni at VC funds you're interested in and get their advice.

Yes, VC and PE shops will look for Bain people that worked in the private equity ringfence.
