Hello Experts,
I trust everybody is doing well.
I have been networking on LinkedIn for quite some time now and have connected with a lot of tier 2 consultants. I came to know if an individual wants to get into a Tier-2 firm, referral is not that important as compared to MBB. One can easily get into the firm by applying directly even though they require a work permit.
I want to know your thoughts on this. Is it ok to apply directly because I need a work permit (London and Singapore) and I do not want to get rejected. I know these two locations are super competitive and that is why I want to know your thoughts. Should I apply directly or network and try to get a referral?
What is a third party recruiter?
An external recruiter - not employed directly by the consulting company. MBB typically do not use them but some tier 2 and boutique consultancies do
