Hello preplounge community,
A partner in MBB forwarded my resume to the HR team. I did not get any response so I directly reached out to HR and told him that my CV has been forwarded by a partner and attached the email thread as well and got the below mentioned reply:
Hi XXX,
Thanks for your message.

1 - Does this count as a referral?
2 - I do not want to work in this particular office as I have come to know that this particular office does not have great culture so I am bit hesitant now. If everything goes well and I passed the interview, can I choose to work at different office and tell them the reason, example : family reason etc or I have to work in this office only.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
