Would it burn bridges if I transferred offices to get to the city I wanted and then left within a couple of months?

With the new office yes - but how long of a bridge would this be if u’ve only been there a couple months? Ur old bridged will be ashes as soon as u leave anyway. Go for it. End justified the means TBH

If you’re an associate, there is a very small chance the firm pays for your moving expenses and even if they do, you will have to sign a contract to repay them if you do leave within a few months. If you are just looking to get to a new city (and don’t care about your own moving expenses), what’s stopping you from doing that now?

Agree with PwC3 - every relocation bonus I've ever seen has a clawback if you leave, typically within 1 or 2 years

PWC 3 & SM 1 are correct. As someone who was in a similar situation previously, you’d be much better off skipping the middle step and getting a new job if you don’t like your current function. They probably won’t help or adjust your salary for COL and, if they do, there will be clawbacks if you leave and you won’t know what those are until you’re already making the move.

Yes

Few weeks yeah months no

If you already know you’re planning on leaving, then just be honest you want the firm to pay you (for your move)...to leave the firm. If you already know you want to leave the firm, it’s bad business to go with your current plan and people in your new city will know you took advantage of the system. Unless you’re in a huge market, you’ll likely cross paths with your old firm in the future

Relocation packages are typically when the firm is asking you to move. Not typically offered when it’s you wanting to move

Yes
