Stay at MM or go to UMM/ MF?

Background: I'm a 2nd year Aso at a MM PE fund in Europe, with 2 years in IB, curious to know what options could be interesting to explore.

I like working in the industry, and wouldn't mind working in a UMM/ MF. But honestly I don't have much clarity on how to do it. I would like to stay in London or try to go to New York. Does anyone mind sharing some advice?
