Do you think getting into PE in BOS/CHI from NYC is significantly easier than getting into PE in NYC?

No. I moved from NYC to one of those cities and it’s a lot more difficult I thought. Less firms means less spots, and both cities already have a banking presence where a lot of PE firms recruit from.

I had way more opportunity in New York, just wanted to move back to where I’m from.
