MS Asia? MS US?

Hey guys,

I was wondering if I wanted to apply to MS Asia but then transfer later on to the US for a FT opportunity? Is this possible?

I've heard that MS does not like analysts moving office locations so much...

So if anyone has insight please let me know... Im in the midst of filling out applications and wanted to know how easy it is to transfer to different offices for the same firm.

@rossgs210, that's not true. However, it is obviously extremely difficult. One of my friends SA'd HK and got a FT NY offer for MS. He was an exceptional candidate though.

 

MS has been moving staff from US to Asia. Doubtful that you'll be able to swim in the opposite direction.
