NYC -> California pod???

Hey all

Ignore title - am a student going to CAP/P72/Baly and wanted to know if it's possible to transfer to a pod in California after my program/after a year or two in NYC. Don't really want to be on the East Coast and am originally from California and would love to go home.

Thanks in advance.

you should have no problem. the pod grad program are in new york but after the program itself can place onto pods in a variety of locations. even then have seen plenty of people shift between equities businesses (ie surveyor, cge, ashler) so would imagine location not the biggest deal.

 

Haha, thank you for the response. Glad to know it's possible - do you know how long (give or take) you'd have to be in the New York offices before requesting a location transfer / have any color on how the transfer process works?
