Austria is part of the German system! So if you get an offer from the German office, you are free to chhose among the following locations:

Hamburg, Berlin, Cologne, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Munich, Vienna

Switzerland is NOT part of the German system, so Zurich or Geneva will not be an option (unless you do also interviews with the Swiss office).

Cheers, Sidi

Hey there,

Typically when you apply you choose the offices you wish to proceed. From this perspective - probably not. But! Once you're in the Firm, you can easily choose projects located in SW or AU. Though with SW may be some restrictions (due to your income level, etc.).

Good luck,
