Currently signed as a SA at an EB but recently had a revelation about where I actually want to spend my summer/full time but not sure how to go about politely asking for a change. Anyone out there with some experience on this/have friends who went through this? Worked my tail off to secure this offer & would rather not re-recruit.

Hey Intern in IB-M&A, I'm the WSO Monkey Bot and I'm here since nobody responded to your topic! Bummer...could just be unlucky but one of these topics will help shed some light:

Bump
Is this a situation of you signing for a satellite/ non-NYC office and trying to switch to NY? Or other way around?
Regardless, would do the internship wherever you signed and once you’re there, broach the subject with HR. Tough because whatever team you work with (assuming you work with a specific team), will be annoyed you’re trying to move elsewhere.
Should only be addressed after receiving full time offer.
much easier to go from NYC office to elsewhere than vice versa
As others have mentioned, if you’re in the NYC office, asking to go to another office at the END of the SA stint should be easy. If it’s the other way around, not so much
Keep your mouth shut and get an offer in writing
only then do you have the conversation
Not sure about OP, but in my case I rerecruited after my internship last summer and received an offer for a full time associate position at another bank in SF (both banks BB/EB).
Now, due to new circumstances, I can’t realistically move to SF full time. My hometown is a decent sized regional market where the new bank has a small IB office, but this office has no overlap with the group I am joining in SF.
Has anyone ever navigated a similar situation? Not sure who to bring this up to or even what to ask for specifically.
Echoing the comment above about how if this is from NY to a satellite office, then best to ask at the END of the internship. If it's satellite to NY, I have no advice to give on that.
Yes but get the offer first
do not bring it up before you have an offer
