Mentors have told me NYC BB + Mandarin fluency = a pretty "easy" transition (As in this is achieved semi-regularly, not that it's actually a walk in the park). Not as much for EB's because they're generally not as strong in Asia (not sure why, I'm guessing due to the fact that they do less work there / Asia is more focused on capital raising vs M&A advisory).

Thanks for the insight. I am looking to transition out of banking so am looking less at transfers and more at full-time buyside roles. Have you heard of such moves being made as well? Or do those firms primarily recruit from asian IB offices?

 

Oh sorry. I meant PE opportunities, if that wasn't clear.

My EB comment was regarding the fact that they don't seem to get as many Asia PE opportunities.
