Plus, I think it's a credible story to tell that you had an IBD job and got transferred, and besides, smart companies retain people who they value. I am sure someone with credit training from JPM could make the switch to IBD when the time is right. I also heard that transfers might be to PWM or Asset Management, also not bad destinations. I would be disappointed if I were transferred, but JPM is still a well-respected company and a great place to be.
