Hi there,

1) I have been wondering whether relocation is possible with every firm? 

Probably not every firm. The larger, the easier should be.

2) Is relocation possible/wanted by the firm or very difficult to achieve? 

Difficult to achieve. To maximize your chances you should ideally:

• Have one or more partners in your target office favoring the transfer
• Have one or more partners in your home office favoring the transfer
• Have a strong performance
• Have or be able to get working rights in your target office

It may be easier to try to target a project in the new office being based in your current one, create relationships and then do the full transfer. However, that also depends on the company and office.

3) If possible, only with MBB?

No, other firms may allow it as well.

Best,
Francesco

Hello!

I don´t think you can make the statement of “yes, relocation is possible with every firm”. However, with MBB is very well possible, even easy. 

However, careful with US, since the visa restrictions are harder than other regions. 

Hope it helps!

Cheers, 

Clara

Hi there,

This really depends on your specific profile and demand/supply for the same profile in the market and applies to MBB and any other company operating internationally.

For example, I have moved countries 11 times because I have a very specific skill set that is rarely found in other candidates. For me, it's not very difficult to move country (actually moving again from DK to Chile in a couple of months).

Conversely, if you're a junior person with a decent generalist profile, you don't really have much of an argument because that's not very unique. In that case, find a company that supports rotation e.g. corporate graduate programs with stints in different locations.

Hope this helps! Best of luck!
