I’d trade places with you lol. May I ask why you want to come to IFS? Seriously, I feel like this LoS does important work and we keep the firm “running,” but we are often overlooked and overworked.

Client service and IFS will always have a strained relationship - it goes both ways. I came into IFS from Advisory and both lines have their faults and terrible people within them... both also have amazing leaders and staff - so many different teams and functions in each it’s hard to make blanket statements. I’m happy where I’m at but do wish IFS as an org was 1) more organized, it’s equally as political as advisory IMO and 2) paid more. Comp is significantly lower and not that much less stressful 🤷‍♀️

A number of us have done it, so we probably can.

Where are you in the process? Thinking about it? interviewing? Already transferred and adjusting?

Have some active/reserve time, wrapping up graduate school, and am now considering either a) come back to the business world or b) go active and retire before 50 and live off a nice pension. Obviously there are draws to both. I’m an officer for what it’s worth so I can realistically retire at O-5, MAYBE O-6.
