6 months in to new role at a management consulting firm, but I need to transfer to our NYC office in 6 months due to the return-to-office policy at my spouse’s firm. I need 12 months of experience to transfer, but I started the transfer process a couple months ago to get the wheels turning. Now one of the admins has suddenly said to reach back out at 12 months tenure when I’m eligible for transfer… How do I navigate this? I need to be in NYC in 6 months or I’ll have to leave this job.

They aren't making exceptions of any kind on this? Seems extreme

They have a temporary transfer freeze to the NYC office until the new year. It feels like I keep getting punted between low to mid level admin people who aren’t considering that it would be worse to hire a new associate than keep me on.

Where are you currently living?

Can you start applying to firms in NY then tell your current firm if you get an offer

Is your spouse able to get an extension due to your situation?
I also would think that your firm could be a little more flexible if you’ll be at the 12 month mark by the time your spouse needs to be in New York.

I think I know what firm you’re at…try going right to the OMP

Which firm?

My question is I have been interviewed for BA role and JD mentioned dynamics 365 but I don't have experience in that. i was interviewed about core BA concepts and my role in project. I have understood the concepts of dynamics 365 during my NP. so now project interviews will be based on previous experience in projects or this new one ? Please help me understand.
