Great read. Have my work cut out for me. Think PE fits my personality better though over public markets investing. Have recently seen people from T25 MBAs somehow get into LMM PE (whether doing 2 years of IB prior or not) and have seen LMM PE shops in my prior industry. Not thinking about a top name like KKR etc as realistic. Just lower mid market. Willing to do banking prior to trying to shoot a shot at any PE. Am I thinking about this the right way? Targeting T15 MBA ideally.
Sure. It's all harder at MBA level because you are in a different life phase (with possible family obligations) and want to pursue a high-intensity profession like IB (most of my classmates who did post-MBA IB have gone corporate at this point, and few made to your so-called LMM PE).
You are allowed to have dreams, but it comes with sacrifices.
