Moving to Switzerland

I'm joining Goldman as a 1st-year IBD analyst very soon, but my end goal is to move to Switzerland and continue working there. I know that Goldman has very limited IBD operations over there, so should I ask for a secondment and relocate there a few months into my analyst stint? Or should I look for an exit opportunity after the 2-year stint?

Do you absolutely have to live in Switzerland or would it be acceptable to visit every once in a while?
You could cover the Swiss market from another location and visit, work for another BB, or simply do a comparable job within IBD in Switzerland - there are lots of options.
