MBB Apply For Different Office

Hi all, 
I am currently studying in US and have applied for BCG in a local office,
I've failed 1st rounds of interview. And got a ban with length of 2 years . 
Can i apply right now for BCG office in my home country - Germany? 
Or the ban is applied globally?

In my experience, this ban is globally...

I asked this question to a BCG HR in Germany, she said that this ban only counts for the country you had applied to. So, yes :)

Hi,

Unfortunately, the ban is applied globally.

You might want to reach out to the HR in Germany or get someone in your connection to find out on your behalf. My understanding is it should be global or at least regional, because I know the ban is applicable across SouthEast Asia and Greater China (these are considered 2 different regions in BCG). That said, it some cases if an office is facing huge shortage of people, they might relax some of the rules a bit.
