My colleague forwards my material to a Senior partner who works with MCK in London. I have no exposure to London, nor UK. In my latest interviews I learned that there is a high percentage of Oxbridge candidates and a recommendation doesnt necessarily get you in. I am bothered that the recommendation will have no effect due to the absence of a typical A target school, despite having good work experience (2 years with a foreign PE among the TOP100 in the world).
I would really like to work for some time in the consulting industry (but only for MBB). Hence, I would like to understand theinterview process a bit better. As a German undergrad from a German business school I wonder whether this recommendation could also be forwarded to other offices. So how does a Consultant/HR see the recommendation from a senior partner from a different office?
