What happens when a Bloomberg user moves to a different firm? Can they bring their Bloomberg ID with them?

I was pretty upset when I went from [initial][surname] to [initial][surname]1 after changing jobs.

Getting [initial][surname] is pretty impressive. My first ID was [initial][surname]7.

My surname is incredibly rare (to the extent i'm probably the only one thats used Bloomberg) and my initial is 1-2% in the regions where the surname is found!

No you can't. It's linked to the firm that pays for the subscription. Your bloomberg chat and models can have proprietary info that isn't brought to the new firm and your new ID.

That's not really that important. What is important is that they have an ID, at all.
