Forced to move or lateral under 7 days? (edited)

If a bank forces team to make the decision to move to a different city within 7 days or be locked out, how feasible would it be to "agree" to relocate but instead lateral somewhere else within 4-6 months and within same city? (nyc).

In this market I’t be hard to do it in 7 weeks even…

Even in 2021 it would be a challenge. No bank will hire a candidate without interviewing others (may even be a policy), and taking into account 2-3x interviews it just doesn’t add up.

This being said, nothing wrong with moving and then trying to lateral afterwards. Its not like you would be there for 5 years 

 

You sure this isn’t just bad second-hand info? I heard 7 days to make a decision, not to move in 7 days. The bank is giving up to a year to relocate.
