I did this a month out from my start date with no problems. They might say no but there’s no harm in asking - they do try to be as accommodating as possible.
Can I ask which MBB you were able to do this with? Also in a similar situation.
Is this full time or internship? Not sure if you can transfer offices like that after accepting the offer
This would be for full time
Honestly im in the same situation (want to switch from west to east coast) but don't think that would be allowed since you had already agreed to location when you signed the offer letter. Negotiating after accepting offer is pretty poor form at least in the finance. Not too sure bout consulting tho
Is location mobility different btwn mbb vs bb? I think for BBs bringing this up after accepting offer may even risk getting your offer rescinded
Yes, bc there’s a lot more travel involved in consulting vs. IB. Every project you’re staffed on could be in a different city, with the expectation you’re on client site 3-4 days a week. OP can definitely ask and they would not be risking their offer (honestly, the worst they will do is say no). Not in IB so can’t share any insight on your situation.
