I am currently an associate at an UMM PE firm in NY and want to transition to PE in Texas, preferably DFW or Austin to be closer to family.
I am considering my options after my associate role is up, and currently the primary options are 1) Try to lateral directly into a Sr. Associate / VP role or 2) Continue along the path and do an MBA, recruit into a VP role.
For those who know Texas PE, which do you recommend / which MBA would be more useful? HBS appears to be the best overall MBA for PE, but would McCombs provide better connections and recruiting within Texas specifically? Note that I currently don't have a Texas network.
I believe the two most prominent firms are Vista and Trive - which would they recruit more heavily from?
Background: Non-Texas undergrad, NYC banking, NYC UMM PE (generalist)

HBS and Kellogg are the two best represented MBA schools in Dallas PE. The other M7s (Booth, Wharton, Stanford) have a few folks but are generally much less well represented. Don't know anyone with a McCombs MBA doing PE anywhere.
Just curious, is it really that hard to transition from UMM NYC to Texas PE?
Not sure, I haven't started recruiting yet (its more of immediate-hires for these positions versus on-cycle recruiting) but everyone that has done it either has Texas undergrad or is from Texas, neither of which I have. So the point of McCombs would be to solely give me connections and make my story make sense
I see, I ask because I hope to make a similar switch except IB -> TX PE and I'm from TX. Hope to see you make the move

Peak rock capital is out in the market (SG Partners running process), if of any interest.
Bump, was considering McCombs MBA for Texas REPE - but seems its M7 or bust?
REPE is more differentiated - you really don’t need an MBA, but the real estate market here is largely A&M, SMU, and TCU grads, so while I don’t see a ton from McCombs you certainly don’t need to be at an M7 and I’m sure a UT MBA would be sufficient (as far as schooling goes - again, other factors tend to be more relevant in RE)
