Switching Locations after Accepting Offer

I accepted an offer at a non-NYC office at a BB a few months ago for FT and now am starting to regret my decision. If I talk to HR, do you think there is a chance they could/would let me switch to NYC (either in the same group or a different group)? I was thinking that throughout the course of a few months, there might be people who renege and spots could open that they would give up on filling...

I'm not sure what you mean by secondary market... Re: process, I took my summer return offer but interviewed at that non-NYC office for the SA position (I'm pretty sure that's how it works with all regional offices for all banks)

 

I wouldn't do this - maybe 6-12 months in as someone else said.

If you have some extenuating reason to be in NYC (sick family member or something) maybe, but otherwise it just comes off as wishy washy, and you'd be blowing off the group that hired you which is not the best move as a first year
