Hello! I applied to two roles at McKinsey a couple months back. The first was for the BA position at 3 different US offices, and the second was a Consulting Analyst position in 3 different LATAM offices. From my understanding the consulting analyst position is the entry level position in LATAM, and from there you would progress to BA and so on.
A few weeks back I was selected to move forward on my consulting analyst application. I went to my portal and I saw that my BA application in the US had a "closed" status.
I was contacted by a recruiter a few weeks ago and asked if I would be ok interviewing for an office in LATAM that I didn't list in my 3 rankings, as my listed choices wouldn't be possible. I said yes on the phone, but now I'm rethinking my decision.
My question is would it be possible to make the case to interview for a US office at this point, given that my preferences weren't matched? I'm worried about asking and then jeopardizing the interview offer that I do have. For context, I'm American and don't have any additional passport. Thanks so much.
