Lateraling from LMM EU to US pre-MBA possible?

Since graduating from a semi-target in the US 2 years back I've been working for a LMM fund in continental Europe. It's a small shop (IB and corporate finance route.

-Do LMM and MM funds prefer pre-MBA analysts with IB experience or PE experience?
-How much would the fact that I started in the EU hurt my chances?
-Has anyone had a similar experience? Skipping IB and lateraling pre-MBA within the US?
-Should I bother reaching out to headhunters?

Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks
