PE Associate / Sr. Associate lateral (NYC to London)

Hi all,

Looking to get a bit more information on opportunities/process for making the move across the pond for a lateral PE position. I’m currently a second yr associate at MM shop in NYC (industrials-focused), came from a European BB in NYC (M&A group).

Would love to get some information on 1) headhunters people have had success working with in the UK, 2) any shops known to sponsor Americans for UK visas and 3) any general information on the process (timing, comp, etc.).

Thanks! Apologies if I missed a previously-posted thread related to this.
