Anyone asked for a transfer/relocation to a different office but also looked for other opportunities outside the firm at the same time? Is this okay?

When I was trying to transfer, and looking at other options, I basically just said my firm isn’t able to transfer me because they don’t have the availability to for x amount of time but I need to move by x date, additionally I’ve always been interested in x position

Thank you for the responses!!! Any tips/advice?

Well yeah. Transfer might mean you take a pay cut due to cost of living area...I knew a senior who moved from a high cost of living to low cost of living area. The firm offered 20k less to transfer but this person got a job for the same pay they already had in industry and took that instead.

I’ve been trying to do the same but feel intimated when they ask me why my own firm won’t transfer me

The office at that location is very small and I’m coming from a big office so my chance on transferring are slim, but idk if this is a legitimate reason or something hr is just telling me to stop bugging them

Thanks for the input AM1. That's one of my concerns, the pay cut.

D said we will all move to Central Business Service (CBS)

We will no longer be under Executive Service Center (ESC)

Although management says it will have no impact on us, am suspecting that's not the case.

Does KPMG, EY and PWC have a central support system?

Please, share your thoughts as am thinking that moving to CBS we will lose some perks.
