Hi,

 

I recently got rejected by S& MENA in the screening round. Does this mean that my application bar now also applies to PwC? 

 

I'm unsure since Strategy& is part of the PwC network and am worried that my application might get screened out because of a rejection from Strategy&. 

 

Thanks!

Pro tip: if you are mobile and have ties to other regions outside MENA, apply to another S& office where there are no needs of local language (Nordics, BeNeLux etc., or UK). The ban period after which you can re-apply does not apply globally for S& (as opposed to MBB).

Hi there,

You should be just fine! Absolutely apply to PwC (but try to get a referral to optimize your odds)

Hi there,

 

In the region, these tend to be different meaning you would still be able to apply to PWC even if you're rejected from S&
