LMM PE in "Tier 2/3 City"

Wanted to get thoughts on what the realistic lateral options were once the economy recovers based on my experience and fund size. 

Currently, we are in the process of raising our 4th fund..estimated to be $200MM to $300MM. There have been above average returns in the previous three funds and the 4th will be over 3x than that of the former. All in all, the firm is moving in the right direction despite deal flow being down. 

My role is generalist and get to work on all parts of the deal process, including traveling to management meetings, working with current LPs, and helping to raise the 4th fund (which is great experience as an analyst). Due to the current markets, modeling has been light but believe once the market picks back up and deal flow increases I don't think this will be a problem. 

What are the realistic options to lateral from a smaller, lesser-known fund to another LMM/MM or GE firm?
