From PE in Europe to PE/VC on the West Coast

Hello guys,

I'm currently working in a large cap PE fund in Europe and I would like to move to the West Coast to work on the buyside (either PE, VC or HF). I have 1.5-2 years combined PE experience and some bulge bracket M&A internship before that. Education is top tier in Europe.

- Is it possible? Have you ever heard of similar stories?
- Who are the headhunters I should contact? I've heard Glocap is good on the West Coast
- Any advice on how to proceed?

I know it's a long shot, but I'm willing to give it a try.

Many thanks for your help!
