Dear PrepLounge community,
I am currently a first year consultant in MBB asia-pacific offices. However, significant other (not married yet) just got a unexpected but excellent job offer and had to move back to the States. I am thinking about transferring after another year here after discussion with my partner. I have the following questions:
1. Do I need to apply for an MBA in the States and re-apply to a US office? (I love current firm and do not plan to switch firms)
2. How soon should I start having the conversation with my local HR with respect to this personal situation?
3. Would an unmarried significant other count as a personal reason for transfer within MBB?
Thank you very much for your help in advance!
