BB Regional Office SA to NYC FT

Hi all. I know there are other discussions on this, but they are mainly for IB. In the realm of S&T, how is the internal transfer process on the basis of geography? In other words, say you are interning at a top BB (GS,MS,JPM) in a regional office (CHI, HOU, SF) and wish to make the move to NYC FT, what is the plausibility of such a move?

 

Very challenging to switch immediately after a SA position, but If you “prove yourself” for a year or so you may be able to switch with some networking

 

Do you know how employers look at regional offices? Say in the case of lateraling to another bank, is JPM Chicago looked at poorly vs the NYC office?

 

Depends more on what you were actually doing in that office than the office itself. If you worked on a well-known commods desk in Houston, then you probably would have an easier time making the switch than someone in a more risk management type role. The regional offices will also tend to have more people in less “sexy” roles in S&T (operations, risk mgmt, any clearing/trading support, sales w smaller clients), so would just try and avoid those if I were you

 

Thanks for the answers. Do you happen to have information on any of the CHI offices of JPM GS or MS for S&T on if they run legit operations.
