Hi there. Some offices do regional recruitment, which means one recruitment team will cover multiple offices. In this case, within the region, no matter which office you choose, it won't affect your chance of getting in. Beccause they interview you first and once you receive the office, they discuss with you on office assignment.

However, some bigger office has its own recruiment team. So your chance of getting in depends on how much is the competition for that specific office.

You can clarfiy this with McKinsey people work in the office you're interested in applying.

Hope this helps!

I can only speak for McKinsey where It would make a difference if you are studying in the UK where the London team will go through all applications from UK schools (with a few small exceptions such as the German office). If not, your first choice office will review your application first.

Hi there,

In general it would not affect anything. If the 1st office rejects your application, the 2nd office gets it.

In fact, I ended up being interviewed for a few of my 2nd and 3rd office applications when I applied years ago!

Hi, I confirm it's not going to affect at all your application. I would only prepare very weel the potential motivational question: why this geography

Best,
Antonello
