I honestly don’t think it is easier which ever location you go for. You are going to be assessed to the same level whichever office you go for. Just because there could be fewer or more candidates doesn’t make the process easier or difficult.I stress to people time and time again that you should apply to the location you want to work in. Trying to gamify the system will not work unless you can play the long game and wait until you are qualified to move.People think they’ll be able to convince HR to move them at some point in the recruitment process or during training, but this rarely happens. Even when you have trained with a firm, moving office upon qualification is also unlikely, and so moving is more likely to happen if you change firm.
