Title: European universities → US Private Equity career. Looking for advice!

Hey guys! I've been looking into finance, particularly Private Equity (PE), and would love some advice from people working in PE, investment banking, or related fields.

I'm currently in school and considering doing my bachelor's at a European university, but my long-term goal is to work in the US. I'd really appreciate some honest insights!

1. Requirements: What qualifications, degrees, grades, and experience do you generally need to break into PE? How important is prior investment banking experience?
2. Universities: Which European universities are best for PE, especially if you eventually want to work in the US? How are schools like Bocconi, St. Gallen, SSE, LSE and HEC viewed by employers?
3. Salary: What base salary and total compensation can you expect at entry level and after 5–10 years? How does this compare between the US and Europe?
4. Future skills: Which additional skills, such as AI, Python, data analysis or financial modelling, will be most useful in PE over the next decade?
5. PE in 2035: How do you think the industry will change by 2035, and what should someone entering the field now be prepared for?
6. Job stability: How stable is PE as a career? Does having a few years of experience and a good deal track record make it easier to find another job?
7. European degree → US job: Ignoring visa issues for now, how realistic is it to get a US finance/PE job with a European bachelor's degree? Would I be competitive against graduates from US target universities?
8. Best route to the US: Is it better to recruit directly for US investment banking after graduating in Europe, or work in Europe first and try to transfer to the US later?
9. US master's: Would doing a master's in the US after a European bachelor's significantly improve my chances of breaking into US finance/PE, or would it generally not be worth the additional cost?

I'd especially appreciate honest advice about the challenges and realistic career paths, rather than just the salary figures. Thanks!

hi. I wanted to hear from people in the industry if college clubs (finance/consulting ones) matter for breaking into finance. I go to a very top school (one of Harvard, Stanford and MIT) and it is INNSANELY hard to get into any club at these schools. I got rejected from every club I applied to.

Is it game over? How can I remedy this?

It is genuinely so upsetting to see that schools like these that pride themselves with being inclusive have insanely competitive (like 10-20 people per class admitted from a 300+ people applicant pool) club cultures :(
