[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 120279, member: 2672"] It will depend on the firm's attitude towards this - it can vary massively. Many firms will tell you that you would need to do the final interview stage again with the London office to be considered for that opportunity. I have known at least one firm to say you must reapply completely though. Although your circumstances may have changed, unfortunately, lots of regional firms have a problem where people apply for regional roles because they think they are less competitive and then try to game the system by saying that they'd like to move across to the London office. This has happened for decades and happens enough that it's likely your firm has dealt with this request many times before. Lately, I have heard this has got worse where people realise they could get a London salary but only need to be in the office a couple of days per week and therefore could easily commute to London. However, the firm may be open to it. It is likely to also depend on what the personal circumstances are and how they have kicked in recently (e.g. why they have happened now or why they weren't apparent before your interviews/assessment centre). However, if they don't have any TCs to offer you (e.g. if they have already filled their London TCs) no matter what your reasons, they may still have to say no.
