I want to transfer offices as a staff 1 rising to staff 2. Has anyone else done this before? I'm just not loving the teams I've been on and would like to live in a cheaper city.

Are you in audit? If yes, and if you are looking to stay in Central region, almost every office has more staff than they need already. You'll have a better chance of getting approved if you wait until you've got at least 2 busy seasons behind you.

I'm in audit but I'm thinking of moving to the southeast region. Is it any better there than central? I'm aware that central is overstaffed, it's one of the reasons I'm looking to move.

I'm audit, and I transferred from Central to Southeast. The Southeast is overstaffed in general. There was a series of layoffs earlier in the year. The notable exception is Orlando. Orlando needs staff and is actively recruiting if you're interested.

What city

I transferred offices last summer as a rising Staff 2. It all depends on your desired city's needs. My new city needed staff, so I was approved quickly. The key is to express interest now to your People Consultant and Counselor. It may or may not take some time before it's actually approved. I'm assuming a cheaper city is also a smaller city? Smaller offices can be harder to transfer into than large offices because smaller offices usually don't have the need for more staff.

That's good info to know. I was thinking of North Carolina as my main contender. Central had layoffs this year as well. I didn't know about the southeast

Do you think switching firms would be a poor career decision?

I heard North Carolina got hit hard with layoffs. If you're set on moving, I don't think changing firms is necessarily a bad idea if it's what you want.

Come to Tampa!

What staff level are you? PwC Carolinas always seems to have a shortage of seniors

Oh staff 2, I'm an idiot

OP I am in same shoes as you (different office). Feel free to message me (if you can?)

Kind of a quick rant. I did a quick search through some firms websites because I am thinking of switching jobs. It is definitely clear most firms still do not embrace diversity. I know diverse applicants must be just as qualified! So what is keeping attorneys of color out?? It’s so discouraging.
