Q: I am currently working for one of the big 3 management consulting firm in EU (Bain&Co). I have about 2 year of experience in this industry and no MBA (yet). How easy would it be for me to switch to private equity and which are the possible steps?
A: You can land a job in a PE shop as an Associate, it is very competitive, so make sure you prepare well for the interviews. Try to talk to folks in Bain Cap first? Connect with headhunters and check job boards, also connections work very well to get an interview.
