I am currently an associate at an UMM PE firm in NY and want to transition to PE in Texas, preferably DFW or Austin to be closer to family.
I am considering my options after my associate role is up, and currently the primary options are 1) Try to lateral directly into a Sr. Associate / VP role or 2) Continue along the path and do an MBA, recruit into a VP role.
For those who know Texas PE, which do you recommend / which MBA would be more useful? HBS appears to be the best overall MBA for PE, but would McCombs provide better connections and recruiting within Texas specifically? Note that I currently don't have a Texas network.
I believe the two most prominent firms are Vista and Trive - which would they recruit more heavily from?
Background: Non-Texas undergrad, NYC banking, NYC UMM PE (generalist)

HBS and Kellogg are the two best represented MBA schools in Dallas PE. The other M7s (Booth, Wharton, Stanford) have a few folks but are generally much less well represented. Don't know anyone with a McCombs MBA doing PE anywhere.
Just curious, is it really that hard to transition from UMM NYC to Texas PE?
Not sure, I haven't started recruiting yet (its more of immediate-hires for these positions versus on-cycle recruiting) but everyone that has done it either has Texas undergrad or is from Texas, neither of which I have. So the point of McCombs would be to solely give me connections and make my story make sense
I see, I ask because I hope to make a similar switch except IB -> TX PE and I'm from TX. Hope to see you make the move

Bump, was considering McCombs MBA for Texas REPE - but seems its M7 or bust?
REPE is more differentiated - you really don’t need an MBA, but the real estate market here is largely A&M, SMU, and TCU grads, so while I don’t see a ton from McCombs you certainly don’t need to be at an M7 and I’m sure a UT MBA would be sufficient (as far as schooling goes - again, other factors tend to be more relevant in RE)
