MS Intenral Mobility - Research to GCM/IBD

Hi Monkeys, 

just wonder how's the mobility be like for MS. I am currently on research team but want to transfer to banking, hopefully coverage team. I am open to any regional office. My question is: 

1. Is it doable after working one year for research to banking transfer? 

2. Compare to internal transfer, would it be easier to transfer to other banks? 

3. Is it easier to transfer to regional office? 

Appreciate any insights!
