IB Exits By Location

Curious as to how IB laterals/exit opportunities are correlated with city/office. Does starting in NYC as an analyst appreciably increase future career opps? I know traditional way of thinking is NYC or bust, wondering if that's changed at all as finance has become less concentrated in the city. Cheers.
