Big 4 Audit -> Big 4 TS -> Boutique M&A -> Then What?

I did a 1.5-year audit in a big 4 + 1.5 ts in another big 4, now I'm doing M&A in a regional boutique focusing on cross-border transactions in APAC and Europe. I'm kind of lost on my next career step in this miserable market. Is MM PE still possible given my b/g?  Otherwise, I want to apply for a top MBA M7/LBS/INSEAD, but I'm not sure whether it is realistic.
