Switching office locations internally for HL RX (CHI/LA --> NYC)
I'm a summer analyst at HL's restructuring group in LA/CHI. I go to school in the area, which has a strong pipeline to the local HL office, so I didn't really think twice about the individual offices. HL RX was my first interview/offer and I took it immediately.
As I'm starting my internship, I'm realizing that I'd like to be in New York for buyside recruiting. From Linkedin, it seems most people who place at MF, especially for vanilla buyout, are from New York. Don't really care about "prestige" or being in NYC vs LA/CHI, so correct me if I'm wrong about exits.
How would I navigate switching offices internally to NYC? Or should I just rerecruit to PJT/MOE/EVR RX groups for FT? Would appreciate any color on that as well. Thanks!
This is asked a lot. Generally difficult to switch and you're risking your offer since it's dependent on there being spots in NY and Chi/LA would likely not let you back if NY did not work out; same goes for trying to move externally, since you'd spend a lot of the summer on networking calls which isn't exactly discreet.
Most people want to be in NY for buyside recruiting / general preference to live there... so you are not exactly the first regional intern to want to be in NY. Especially if you are at a school-adjacent office, that's a pretty obvious play to NY. I would just stay where you are. Oncycle happens so early that the regional office is less of an issue, just get yourself to NY for recruiting and be the best-prepped person there and you will be fine.

Can first-handedly assure you both of the offices you mentioned are sufficient to get you any interview you want if you have the right background. 0 opportunities were available to my NYC counterparts that weren’t available to myself or another person from my school at the other office you mentioned.
Do you have insight on HL Dallas/Minneapolis offices and their Rx teams as far as on-cycle goes? Curious if they also get same inbounds from HHs as NYC/CHI/LA.
Headhunters look at group and school; as far as I’m aware, there is 0 difference in terms of group location; the weaker exits from those offices compared to NYC is driven by the average undergrad analysts at each office graduate from
