Longer you’re in consulting the less likely you are to be able to make the jump

No. Every jump will be another explanation to the recruiters / pe fund as to why you stayed in consulting / lateraled rather than going to buy side. Going from T2 to buy side is possible and has been covered extensively in this bowl. As long as you have CDD experience at T2, you can make it. You need to put in the hours to network / know pe recruiting technicals but outside of that you will be no worse off from T2

I did it from T2. Easier but if you’re a strong candidate you’ll get a job.
