Jefferies -> PE?

How favorably would a candidate look if they were coming from Jefferies Industrials or Tech when looking to move to MM PE in NY? Is it worth it to lateral to one of these groups in order to make recruiting less of an uphill battle for NY PE?

Do you think these are better than tier 4? I work at one and that's what I think others view the firm as. Basically I have decent modeling skills but have trouble getting past resume screens fro MM PE and want to know if I should think about a lateral for name brand and more deal reps. My WLB is decent rn, like ~70/hrs a week, so that's also a consideration, although minor.
