Hi everyone,
I'm planning to apply to MBB offices in the middle east this month. I am currently based in Europe so I would like to do some networking and hopefully get a referral before I apply. I was wondering what the best way to ask for a referral is.
I don't really want to ask for it directly and would like to have genuine conversations with consultants who hopefully would want to offer to refer me. I do, however, think that I should have a specific approach. I am planning to reach out on LinkedIn and try to get a call. What are some things that I can say during the call to trigger this? Any ideas of there's norm here? I've read some comments on posts here saying I should "indirectly ask" for a referral. I'm not sure at all what this looks like.
Thanks for your help!
