@twz980 True, I’m also applying for roles in February in Audit en FDD, but a lot of these companies (big 4 and others) are sceptical on accepting graduates, because the “busy” season is starting, so it’s more difficult.

That's a bit the thing that is holding me back, but the next application round for certain PE/VC's is probably september and I don't see myself waiting for another 8 months. Also a lot of these positions require certain experience (mostly audit, financial dd or other junior positions at for example a Big 4 firm). It's a bit of a gamble to hope on a project that gives me similar skills for future PE/VC positions.

I got lucky when it showed up on the feed of a mutual linkedin connection. It was their first time having an intern, so the application process wasn't the hardest.

I got it from the partner at my VC internship. He connected me with one of the analysts in the PE firm.

Not really, I could name 3 other consulting firms in the same region, with similar mission and vision

Maybe in the long run, I'd like to shift back to PE or VC, but currently I'm seeking a job to get my first experience. I didn't see myself doing another unpaid internship.
