Hi,

I have already submitted an application for one mbb but I want to change the location preference. The deadline is tonight and I emailed hr and the online application help center but no response so far. I'm wondering are they able to change my location preference after the ddl? Or should I withdraw my first application and submit a new one before the ddl. I'm not sure if it would cause any problem to my second application though. Hope to learn some insights from the community!

You can change it but keep in mind a few things

  • It is easier if it is within a country vs a new country or region entirely
  • Make sure you have a very good explanation as to why you want to make the change and why you made a mistake earlier 
  • It helps a lot if your school is considered a target school in the new location as well otherwise your chances are a lot lower (especially true if it is a different country or region)

All the best,

Udayan

Hi there!

No worries, they can change it even after you submitted the application. 

Just wait to hear back from HR if you already wrote to them and if they don't respond in a couple of days then follow-up with an email. 

Best,
Cristian

Hello,

I would advise against withdrawing and resubmitting the application so close to the deadline - wait for HR's response, and contact HR in the office you would like to apply to. I don't think it will be an issue to change it internally at this stage.

It’s a bit hard to answer as I’m not in that specific recruiting team, but based on my experience working with the recruiting team I’d recommend leaving the application up and writing to the recruiting teams in both offices saying that you want to swap and explaining why - they should be able to do it internally. Good luck!
