West Coast T2 Consulting to NYC Exits?

Hi folks

I am in my second year at a tier-2 consulting firm (think LEK, OW, etc) working in a major west coast city. So far, my work has been a mix of strategy and private equity due diligence with a slight skew towards the DD side. 

My partner is determined to live in NYC for a couple of years, and her target companies are all based in Manhattan. I also like the city, although I have been less often.

Will it be easy to land a job in New York given my background? I am mainly interested in corporate strategy, venture capital, and ESG finance. I would consider staying in consulting (asking for a transfer or applying to a rival firm) but I would prefer to work a little less if possible… currently working about 55-60 hours.

Any advice is appreciated!
