I’m in my first year as acquisitions analyst at an amazing East Coast shop. Getting lots of experience and learning tons. I plan on staying at the firm until I hit my two year mark or so, and then I’d like to move back to the West Coast. How does one set themselves up to land a role in a new city? Should I wait longer than the 2 year mark? Any advice would be helpful.

This may also work for other countries/continents.
When sending resumes for opportunities in a new city is it advised to have that city in your resume? Or is it fine leaving your current home address/city.
There is no need to have any address on there at all, generally speaking.
In this case, I normally sprinkle the target city across my resume. It's up to you if you want to put down an imaginary address as well. I have done that also and nobody cared (I put NYC when I lived in Los Angeles).
This should be OK, but be aware that reference checks may include the office address. If a company has multiple office locations, I don't think it would be such a big deal.
