Recruiting East Coast PE from full time in the West Coast

Hey - I will be at a West Coast bank next year for full time and wanted to know if there was any chance of recruiting into a PE role in NY during on cycle when recruiting hits next year. Thanks in advance.

“Impossible” is too strong of a word - I know kids who have done it in the past couple years (mostly from Moelis LA/GS (LA and SF)/MS (LA and SF). But you have to fly redeye the night before interviews. There is also no feasible way to do both west coast and east coast on cycle, so most candidates stay west coast given the number of strong PE firms out there.

Very easy to recruit from NY to the west coast, because all the big places will send full interview teams to NYC.
