Hey there,

Yeah, in theory, you would be blacklisted but it does not hurt to reach out again to the HR of your new local office to discuss your situation + the improvement levers needed to secure an interview invitation.

All the best!

Hi there,

In theory MBB have a centralized system in most countries. In practice, I know cases where candidates applied after a few months from the rejection to an office in a different continent with referral and have been accepted for interviews.

I would recommend the following:

1. Look for a referral if you don’t have one already. You can find some tips here: https://www.preplounge.com/en/consulting-forum/hey-everyonehope-all-is-well-3176
2. Explain the situation to the person referring you. Ideally they may talk internally with HR and see if there is a match now
3. If you get a green light, apply now, otherwise wait the recommended period before a new application

Hope this helps,

Francesco

Hi there,

I think you should reach out and talk to someone!

Explain the situation and ask if there's a possibility of trying again.

Your best bet is to literally reach out to the person who told you that you were 90% of the way there (you should have done this in the first place!). Your second option is to reach out to someone else with decision-making power and explain the content (also, feel free to name-drop).

Good luck!

Hello,

I agree with Francesco's advice on this - look for a referral and be sure to talk to HR to explain your situation.
