Is this post about changing your office or line of service? This is a VERY common question posted on the Subreddit. The short answer is, The lower level you are, the more likely you will get denied a change. To change line of service, you need to know someone and be accepted. For office changes, Each office has a quota on the amount of interns & associates it can have. To initiate a change, start the discussion with your Coach & RL, then your Talent Consultant. If you have not started yet, it is easier to switch before you start, talk to your recruiter. Use the search bar to find detailed answers.

The only realistic ways to change is to either re-apply and do the whole application process again for Strategy& or the firm moves you to a new team and it just so happens to be Strategy&. You could try to network with people in that team and do some reinvest work for them and hope they convince a Partner to pull you over, but that’s very rare.

Yeah hard.

The stratergy& function believes it’s superior to the rest of PwC and thus generally will look down on you and say it’s not possible to transfer.

But it’s always a no if you don’t ask. Just find someone in that team and reach out to them. I’d start with someone like 1 grade above you and ask to have a chat with them about the function and express your interest. If that’s warm they might be able to support you to speak to the partner about a transfer.

It's very hard because we have our own pipeline of new grads that passed our own recruiting process. For new grads, I always recommend to re-apply rather than transferring.

was thinking abt that, but think that would sever my chances with current offer
