EB In Chicago ---> PE in NYC (the logistics)

first of all... is this even possible or is there a very, very large HH recruiting bias towards NYC for MFs and UMMs? Secondly, if this were possible how does one organize their process so that they can maximize their chances (I understand that physically meeting the HHs will be very valuable from what I have heard). Would appreciate any insight (idm info on SF PE too) thanks :)

Luckily, this is not my personal situation, just curious to hear from people.

Many prior topics on this, but in short:

  • Yes it is possible

  • No special process - just tell the head hunters you have a preference for NYC when you reach out to them. Head hunter intro meetings will be well before any recruiting kicks off, so just make your preferences known and be ready to move into a hotel for a week on a moment's notice when recruiting kicks off.

 

Yep. I did also did Midwest -> Coast (was West Coast though) and it wasn't a problem. As long as you have a clear story about why you want to target a certain area, I don't think it's that big of an issue. Yes, recruiting / interviewing will be a bit more of a hassle with flights and time zone differences and stuff, but wasn't anything crazy.

OP, feel free to ask any more specific questions.
