Applications to different positions at different MBB offices

Hi there,

You're asking after the fact, so our answers don't really matter…

Generally speaking, I would try and avoid this. When asked about your motivation for role x in office y, you shouldn't have to explain any contradictory applications (it may or may not come up…).

However, you already applied and seem to have succeeded in generating interest. Hence, you should focus all your energy on this opportunity and give it your best shot!

Just make sure you can reasonably explain as to why you cast such a wide net and why position x in country y is your absolute priority!

Fingers crossed! Let us know if you need any help preparing!

Hi there,

If you got the screening call, it means you passed the very first step for X. 

In general I would not recommend to apply at multiple offices at the same time outside the 3 usual options they offer within the same application – it could create confusion on your priorities. In your case, at this stage it is not an issue anymore since you started the process with X.

Hope this helps,

Francesco

Applications these days are global. By applying to many different positions you are by no means increasing your odds of getting in. It is likely that they will ask you to clarify your preference during the initial call so have an answer ready for which role you are interested in the most and why.

Hi there,

Regardless, you've already done it!

It's great that you have that 30 minute intro call. It sounds like you're at the screening stage which is fantastic! Based on that call, they'll decide whether or not to move on with your application.
