PE Associate in NYC -> London

Currently a PE associate at a NYC shop looking to lateral to a London based PE firm. Trying to understand if the recruiting process is the same as NYC. Are there the same technical questions and model tests? What are the best head hunters and are the timelines the same? Also what are the best PE firms for work life balance
