Hi, I am first year associate working in B4 Audit.
I have been working almost a year. I am considering moving to a different career (Deal Advisory or related roles) but not sure I should move this year or next year when I get promoted to a senior.

I am not thinking about internal transfer because it seems harder than the internal transfer in my case.

Switch now, no reason to stay in a service line you don’t want to be in. Also the earlier you switch the less responsibilities you will have, which you can use to really learn the ins and outs of your practice. I switched after my first year, and already up for promo in my new practice. My only regret is not sketching sooner

Internal transferring is easier than external- simply reach out for coffee once we’re back in the office and network (network for external too). I’d recommend you have at least two busy seasons under your belt before transferring internally or externally. Also research internal trainings for the group you’d like to join (e.g., if it’s FDD I’d look for QofE, Debt-like, Working Capital analysis etc.)

Internal transfer is a pain of a process from personal experience and also some of my colleagues. Seems like groups are more apt to hire externally.

One year, and then transferring to deals? Yeah okay sorry not gonna happen

Happens all the time externally. Especially this year with such a high need.
