Hello, all,
Had a rather niche question as I know that the typical career path is to progress from IB into Private Equity. However, I've been able to secure two summer placements with 2 middle-market PE firms for this summer. Now, I'd previously intended to do an IB summer analysts internship during the summer of '24 (before entering my final year of uni) and then convert that into a full-time IB job following graduation in '25, eventually moving into PE after several years. However, the fact I've secured these PE positions has left me wondering if this summer experience could, in theory, allow me to get a summer PE internship next summer and thus start working in private equity right away after graduating (cutting out 1-3 years in IB) or if it could, instead, provide me with skills/experience that is potentially sought after in IB, potentially increasing my IB employment viability. Either outcome is ideal so curious to hear any thoughts.
