LDN IB --> NYC HF ?

hi all

Currently at a top BB group in London, holding a US passport (ie no visa / admin issues to work in the US)

thinking about buyside (mainly public equities) after banking. how feasible is it to make a 2-in-1 transition of both moving from i) IB to L/S equity and ii) from London to NYC?

is this unrealistic ? Is it only possible to do it in two separate steps and move internally to the US? seems like a rare situation as most ppl with US citizenship would already be working there. 

thanks
