It is difficult to advise on this as there are too many variables, but the biggest of those will be your practice area you qualify into and the type of clients you are working with.

It does happen though.

You could also consider transferring internally.

Thanks for this! I didn’t know internal transfers were a thing that can be done. Was initially wary of raising anything like that as I thought it might upset the partners at the regional office

It most likely will - but if the firm wants to retain talent they will prefer to move you if there is an opportunity rather than losing you altogether. It’s just whether there is an opportunity - you’d need to keep your ears and eyes open to when there could be an opportunity.
