LMM Regional Boutique to HF?

Hey all,

I am a second year analyst just shy of two years at a regional boutique. I was wondering if it realistic to get a position at a small NYC HF? I graduated from an ivy with a background in comp sci and finance, just not a strong GPA (3.3). Also, I have a year of experience at a startup fund when I first graduated, but ended up taking the regional offer for better pay. Also, have closed several deals ranging from $20MM-$100M
