Hi everyone. I have 1 yoe in mbb and 2 in investment banking at a top firm, both in Europe. I want to transition to pe amd would prefer roles in the US. Do I have a chance or do I have to join in London and „earn“ my transfer to NY or SF?

Assuming you’d don’t have a visa. Not impossible but highly unlikely. You’d be behind just about any American banker recruiting for roles that are already difficult for Americans at top firms. Heck even getting a gig in pe in Europe is not easy..

Yes, do London for a global firm and seek a transfer after a few years
