Hello,
I was wondering if a Consultant at the Oliver Wyman London office can refer me for the same position but in OW's Dubai office? Thanks!

Hello,
Yes, that is possible! The referral would be a little bit stronger if it were coming from the Dubai office directly, but having a referral by itself is much better than not having a referral, so if you don't think one from Dubai would be possible, definitely go with the London referral!

Hi there,
Yes they can! If you can get a higher level referral and one in the ME, that improves your odds. However, a referral in-and-of-itself is already fantastic.
Make sure you're case prepping even before you apply!

Hi there,
Q: I was wondering if a Consultant at the Oliver Wyman London office can refer me for the same position but in OW's Dubai office?
Yes they can, however the referral will be stronger if the person is in the same office (they could directly talk to HR/forward your resume to them).
You can learn more on referrals here in case you want to look for one in Dubai:

Hope this helps,
