Unwritten Rules/Etiquette for Applying to a Different Job at My Bank Before Starting
Hey everybody, I'm currently set to graduate in May and have accepted a FT role as an analyst at a BB. I couldn't be happier to have secured the offer, but I know that this particular position isn't what I want to be doing long term. My bank is still advertising some FO roles that look interesting, and I was just wondering if there were any unwritten rules that say I shouldn't apply. I certainly don't want to piss them off and risk losing the FT offer I have, I just think this seems like a better path forward. Please, let me know your thoughts. Cheers.

Fingers crossed that one of those helps you.
I would strongly advise against applying to other roles at the same firm you had signed an offer at. Firstly, it's really simple for someone on the recruiting team to notice that you have already accepted an offer for another position. Secondly, let's say you pass through all the rounds and receive an offer without anyone have noticed that you already accepted a different role at the firm... you'd have to inform them that you have signed for a different role which will be both awkward and highly risky. In this situation, the risk outweighs the reward unless you're completely fine with potentially losing the FT offer.
Agree. I know people who were in your position before and my best advice to them was to apply to other banks' FO roles. It would be too convoluted to try to apply for FO banks from a MO or BO position before even starting such a position. There are stories of people who were able to network and interview for FO roles within a BB, but those also take time and good fortune.
