Equity Derivatives Trading -> West Coast Exit

Currently a second year analyst in EQD on the sell side in NYC want to get out West. Not picky in role or asset class (as long as front office SS or buy sides) and wondering what might be available to someone with my background and how these seats typically get filled.

Am I going to need to go get an MBA to land on my feet on this side of the country?
