Hi Iago,

I had two transfers in my career:

1. From the Financial Services practice to Automotive within the same region
2. From Munich to Dubai office

I need to say that transfers are a pretty tricky thing and require a lot of sensitive political skills.

Different companies offer three types of transfers:

1. Temporary project assignment abroad (for the duration of the project)
2. Short-term office exchange programms (usually between 3 and 12 months depending on the company)
3. Permanent office transfer

All of them are different in terms of difficulty to get. While project assignments abroad are quite common and easy to get, permanent office transfers are very challenging and require hard work from your end and a bit of luck.

In any way you would need the support of your mentor, the staffing manager in your region as well as partner in the targeted office, who will push your transfer.

If you need any help, just drop me a PM.

Happy to share my experience.

Best,

André

Hi,

- MBB an other top firs do have office tranfer opportunities.
- This is usually possible after a year, when they have validated your current performance and can recommand you to another office without doubt.

Of course I would recommand to start with the office you want know, if you can apply there (language speaked, awarness on your diploma, etc.)

Best
Benjamin

What is your question?

Some companies have exchange programs, and pretty much all do office transfers. You probably would need to work a year in your home office first however, and these opportunities are typically reserved to the best people in each class.
