Now that I land myself a summer analyst position in a BB firm, upon graduation I am thinking of working fulltime for a firm that gives management advisories for PE investments. This firm is kind of new. It was founded by a bunch of alumni from my college who have been extremely sucessful in the corporate world(think CEO, COO).
I want to maximize my chance of getting into to HBS/Stanford MBA and later break into PE. I also don't want to be a slave to someone for 80-90 hours a week. Would this be a good idea?
More importantly, how and when should I best approach the firm? Some of the founders sit on the boards of trustees. I want to establish contacts with them but not sure how best to do so since these guys are very senior. Or should I just apply through standard process and hope that my alta mater's name will get my application through.
I am learning the ropes on this kind of stuff and hope you guys can help out. Thanks.
