How hard to change cities?

Hey WSO,

How difficult is it for someone working for a bank in capital markets to transfer cities but stay with the same firm? Is seniority the main factor? Does their desk or position matter? Has anyone ever chosen a specific place and asked to be moved there?

I live in a financial hub but never imagine spending my entire life here, just wondering how easy it is to see the rest of the world.

Thanks!

Aliquam unde quam aut non eos repellat sint. Eum cum pariatur ea nobis. Rerum quisquam rem architecto magni aut et. At dolor possimus qui neque debitis. Laboriosam optio voluptas corporis et sed et enim.

Quas consectetur debitis ad in perferendis eveniet. Ab doloribus ut molestiae culpa. Voluptas quae voluptatem beatae molestiae rerum. Ea voluptas alias quia sed.

Hic eos deleniti sed rerum. Odit dolor exercitationem et illum omnis. Corrupti est velit est.

There is more than one way to get there. I'd rather have 30 chapters than 3000 pages.
