Recently laid off ad am looking locally in NYC are as well as Chicago and Texas

I joined this forum today to get advice on the following predicament. I was laid off from my recent employer where I was a Mutual Fund Accountant, I have been in the field since I graduated college in 2010. I am looking to move from Mutual Fund Accounting to a Private Equity Accounting or more of a finance role within the Investment Industry. I am looking in NYC where I still live and have held these types of roles, I am also willing to move back home in Chicago or try something new in Texas.

Any advice you guys have would be great on a role change from Mutual Fund Accounting to PE Accounting or a Finance role, also on job prospects in NYC, Chicago and Texas.

Thanks
