Big 4 Transfer Tax to Advisory

Sorry for being so long, Okay so heres the deal. I just interned over the summer at a big 4 accounting firm in tax. Going in i didn't know what service line i wanted to go into so i picked tax, interned, got a full time offer after my in tax and accepted. After doing some research though which i should have done before i am heavily considering the switch to advisory. I just hate the fact that i will be at my desk doing tax returns and what not every single day at the same spot. I love to travel which doesn't bother me and i am a very outgoing person who loves to be around people. Before i researched about advisory I asked HR for a transfer to another city, because the area i asked to be transferred to focuses on more financial clients which my dream job would be to work for an IB or Hedge fund. That being said if i switch to advisory then it won't really make sense to move since i won't ever be at my place so its better to stick it out at here. What do you think i should do? will it look bad if i ask for a transfer again? the transfer to the other city hasn't been approved yet btw. Side Note: after i got my offer i kind of don't care about school any more, my gpa is a 2.95 will that play into any effect? Im trying to get it above a 3 though.
