What’s the ideal YOE in strategy consulting to hop to a PE firm? 2?3? Out of UG if that helps

Where are you working right now? Usually that is a bigger driver than YOE. 2-3 is common (but you start recruiting a year before you start).

Okay. A lot of PE recruiting is done through headhunters, and tbh, they go after MBB post undergrads. I would suggest networking really hard to get on their radar. If you can do PE DD work at S& and prove yourself a high performer, those two data points will help your cause too.
