Effects of Transferring
Would there be any effect on recruiting if someone had transferred schools so that they attend a different school for sophomore year?

It depends, but usually success at your new school will be the most important factor for recruiting. If you transferred from a less reputable institution that could be a ding depending on the firm. I transferred my sophomore year, so if you have any questions, feel free to PM me.
What did you mean when you said some firms may ding me because I would transfer from a less reputable institution?
If you transferred from a community college to the leading public university of your state, some firms will assume you did poorly on your ACT or believe that you might not be as qualified as other candidates (it's dumb I know).
It's still worth it to transfer to a better university, and you can over come the above through networking or putting ACT on resume. You'll need to have a good story on why you went to your first university and then why you transferred. Some firms still might not be interested and some don't care, you'd figure it out during the recruitment process.
Went to community college then transferred. Was because I didn’t care in high school, didn’t want to go to college, and consequently did bad on the ACT because lack of effort. Got a full ride to the school I transferred to, was in the honors college, strong extracurricular, and decent internships. School still was an extreme non target and just made it into IB (for FT). Never got asked about my ACT and I played the “going to school for free” card for why I started in community college (it was free) and then transferred on a full scholarship.
I think story is key, and if transferring is what you need to do I would. There is almost always a way to work around the potential roadblock or questions that could come up.
