Same. Although would think it'd be easier to go from NY to LA for some typical buyside job then other way around given stigma. XYZ BB and NY on your resume always carries some weight. You'll get worked for sure at both.

I interviewed with all the megafunds and ran into a few of the MS M&A LA guys a couple times. Seems like they place at all the top places--KKR, H&F etc. CS is definitely 2nd tier and I would imagine it would not provide the same opportunities.

Your opps may be more limited to the west coast, but there are a ton of PE firms out here so don't think that will be limiting.

I imagine at CS NY it would be tough to compete with the 1000 other analysts who interview for opps each year.
