San Fran IB ----> NYC PE possible?

Recently received an offer from Centerview Partners in their SF office and am obviously very excited. However, I want to know how common is it for analysts to move to a different city when recruiting for PE after 2/3 years. I am originally from NYC and would want to move back after my analyst years to be closer to my family and don't want to spend my entire career in SF.

P.S: I got into the SF office for Centerview because that was where my entire school's alumni network is and the people I talked to do recruiting for that office. I also asked them if its possible to move me to NYC office and they said no.

Not remotely on the same level. CVP NY >>>>> CVP SF.

CVP SF pay is still insane though.

 

easier than other way around, many funds fly out.

Look at team bios for H&F, GGC, etc

 

Labore perspiciatis ut eius. Laudantium in nesciunt sint ad vel minima at. Vitae rerum eos accusamus beatae possimus suscipit consectetur dolorem. Omnis quae laborum natus cum.

Show me the incentive and I'll show you the outcome.
