I have signed an offer for EY at the Charlotte office. I am yet to receive a start date. Can I ask for a base location change to San Francisco now and also be able to negotiate San Francisco based salary before my start date? Would this delay my start date or any other problems? EY

If you signed, then you are effectively done. No harm in trying, but I doubt it will work.

Yeah, sorry, that’s not how it works here.

You could ask for a base location change, but I’d be surprised if they renegotiated salary on the spot. When people move, salary adjustments happen on the normal annual cycle.

I actually don’t think it’s impossible, but you will be at the will of office resource needs. I switched at the last minute from Charlotte to DC without any problems, but I had to enter the conversation highlighting my flexibility (i.e., not saying it was a dealbreaker, even though it was for me) and providing a brief explanation of the personal reasons (I just didn’t want to live in Charlotte but vaguely mentioned having family in Virginia).

Unless you had a really compelling reason to transfer to San Francisco, you might have to wait. With recruiting - they recruit for specific offices, for specific needs, with specific budgets and headcount allocation.

Also, competition is going to be fiercer in a San Francisco vs a Charlotte. It sets a bad precedent to enable new hires to do this - get recruited in Dallas or Jacksonville or whatever other Tier II city, and then last minute try to go to a Tier I city with greater pay.

You can absolutely try, but the optics aren’t great unless your spouse is getting relocated, you have an ailing parent/family member, etc. If the reason is “I just feel like moving there”, why didn’t you consider it sooner before the company hired you and allocated resourcing around your initial desire to be in Charlotte?

Yes I'm sure you can transfer to San Francisco, the Bay Area has more need for people than ever

depending on practice and circumstance you *might* be able to get a location change. Not a snowballs chance in hell they will adjust comp until next cycle (Oct 2022)

No, that's not how it works!

What's wrong with charlotte though?
