Yes, move to a real city.
Yes, sounds like heaven on earth. Give me a job there too. I know some insanely hot girls down there. Probably the polar opposite of living in New York though.
Reality check: Is San Diego as strong as "real cities" in regards to PE, no. Is it a superb place to work and live, absolutely.
There are definitely opportunities in SD if you do some research - find a list of firms located here (I live in SD and work in corp. fin.) and contact them. I moved out here right after I graduated and in my experience there were plenty of firms I was contacting (prior to graduation) through phone and email; just networking and making contacts. PM me if you want to talk further.

PE Shops in San Diego? (Originally Posted: 04/06/2007)
Anybody know of any PE shops in San Diego, California?
I expect the answer to this to be no, but thought I'd give it a shot.
Thanks in advance.
Relational Investors, not exactly PE, but activist. they were/are active in HD.
A Capital IQ search for private equity shops in the San Diego area turned up the following:
Ampersand Ventures Autus Capital, LLC Bunker Hill Capital Cameron Holdings Corporation Castle Creek Capital LLC Charlotte Square Capital Ventures, Investment Arm Energy Capital Partners Forrest, Binkley & Brown Ground Swell Equity Partners JMI Equity Fund Kuranda Capital Main Street AC Inc (OTCPK:MFIT) Pacific Corporate Group, LLC Ranch Capital, LLC Sunstorm Management Timeline Ventures TVC Ventures, LLC
Some of these may be earlier stage/VC, but I assume that this list contains most of the PE shops around San Diego.
Hope that helps.
Excellent, this list is very helpful.

Would add Blueprint Equity in Solana Beach. Fast-growing team and their second fund surpassed their $100M goal I believe.
How were you able to generate this list from Cap IQ ?
Does anyone know more about JMI ?
relational is scary influential
JMI are an impressive tech growth equity shop. They previously had a link-up with H&F, they have ended the agreement now so difficult to know what the impact on dealflow will be.
Energy Capital Partners is one of the most prominent on that list. Think their current fund is around $2B. Invest a lot in energy assets (i.e. power plants, electric transmission assets, etc.) but also energy focused companies. Lots of ex-Goldman guys there. Have offices back east as well (NJ). Seems like a decent shop.
I know a guy that interned at Relational a few years back. Said it was ok, but definitely a little bit of a sleepy environment, and you'd be one of a couple junior guys your age. Also, heard their comp was nothing to get too excited about, though that's offset by pretty nice hours and a chill lifestyle.
have a buddy from back home tht worked there, same sentiment (energy capital partners)
