Hi there,

Q: Would you advise me to apply to London or to Germany for better chances?

Do you have a network to leverage in both countries? If so, in terms of better chances I would pick Germany for the following reasons:

1. Likely less competition
2. No issues with demonstrating a connection with the country
3. Most likely more chances to be referred (assuming you studied there and can leverage your school network)

Additionally, even if you prefer the UK, you might move to the UK after a few years of work experience in Germany. 

This doesn’t mean you might not be successful if you apply in the UK though.

Good luck!

Francesco

Hi there,

Where have you networked best? Where do you have a referral and/or where has shown most interest in you?

Second, where do you want to be?

Finally: Remember that you should be able to select 2 offices, so, really, we're deciding which one to put first.

Hi there,

To focus on the key question: The London office of all MBBs is usually the most competitive in Europe, so I would argue your chances are better in Germany.

If that is the only factor to consider, I'd go for Germany!

All the best,

Florian

Hi there!

If you have a settlement status, then you should have similar chances for London or Germany. 

How about your education or professional experience? If it leans towards one location or the other, that will also influence your situation. 

Best,
Cristian

In General, chances will be better in Germany (you are there, and there's less competition vs. London… a lot more international candidates apply to London, by far)
