Internal transfer
How to ask for internal transfer from EMEA to US? Is it something taken positively by the team? Any tips on how to make a conversation with the MDs would be very helpful
Thanks
1a. Make sure there’s a spot for you in the US before approaching your MD. No point in having the conversation if you don’t have a good idea of where you want to end up / the move is possible. Network with juniors in the group that you want to move to to get an idea of staffing. Even better if you can speak with someone that’s made a similar move previously.
1b. Considering this is an international move, I’m sure you know, but make sure you have the visa stuff worked out / see if your firm can be helpful here.
2a. First, you have to decide if a conversation with the MD will be helpful. Most of the time, the MDs will want to help you and the firm will want to retain you if you’re a high performer. However, there are also MDs that’ll be vindictive or apathetic towards the situation and won’t be of much help / you could be better off without approaching them. However, if they find out you’re having conversations behind their back, situation will probably be worse. Use your best judgment as you know your MD’s personality and can gauge how comfortable you are in your relationship with them to discuss
2b. If you decide to have the conversation with your MD. Tell them that you’ve enjoyed the opportunity to work for them and you want to stay at the firm, but you’re interested in moving geographically for x reason (want to broaden horizons, have family ties there, etc.). Since you’ve already done the heavy lifting of the due diligence, it’s easy for you to layout to the MD exactly what the opportunity is, and it’s easy for them because all they have to do is provide their “blessing.”
2c. Then your MD will probably get HR looped in / the team your moving to will probably get your current team’s opinion of you through the MD before making the move official
