Do something else for a few years then recruit. Most new PE associates come from banking.

this. next to impossible to get into unless you come from IB or have VERY good industry specific experience of the target investment of the PE firm.

it's not easy to get into. it's not like becoming and accountant and you can just sign up and there are big 4 hiring thousands of people a year. if you aren't already on the path it's probably too late.
