Lateralling out of a non-nyc PE analyst program

Basically title. I’ll be starting my career in a non-nyc PE analyst program (~$5-10B fund size) where I am unsure about career track opportunity / geo. Wondering if anyone on the forum has any anecdotal knowledge to share on the ease and process of lateraling to another buyout shop, preferably in NYC. Main concern is the amount of credit / traction HHs will give me as I’m starting in an analyst program as opposed to banking.

So boston? alot of the good PE analyst programs are there so HH should know your firm, especially w/ that fund size. Obviously the programs that have a history of taking analysts like charlesbank or audax and actually training them will get more coverage. similarly recruited from boston PC analyst and got enough coverage for NYC

 

Thanks. Any friction in interviewing or networking given travel constraint?

Each firm is different but most NYC firms will have you come in for some/all interviews given most are in the office 4-5x per week. I’d imagine the most likely scenario is you do some initial interviews over Zoom, do a model test / case study (depending on format, could be in person if 1-4 hours otherwise could be take home if a few days), and then a super day in person
