Bain & Company Applied to Bain in ME and Recruiting told me the interviews were successful. After some internal alignment and a few weeks later, I was asked if I would also be open to join Bain in my home country and I was told that I cannot join the ME offices. Anyone experienced the same and/or can share some advice on how to proceed and perhaps some background info on why/how that happened? Bain & Company

I had the same issue, couldn't join a US office but they offered me my home geo.

I politely declined

Would you have been required to re-do the interviews for your home geo? Or would a call with a local Partner have been enough to join in the home geo, i.e., would your interview results from the one geo where you were successful have been re-used?

If you're interested in working abroad in a particular region (but you don't have other offers to work in the Middle East right now), you could sign with Bain and try to make working in the Middle East with them a reality within a few years.

The pipeline is likely stronger in your home geo vs the Middle East. The recession is hitting everyone badly, they thought you were good but knew they may not be able to staff you.
