Asking to be considered for different office after passing BCG EH R1 interview: Is EH R1 office specific? Other EH roles in offices that are a better personal fit (partner, family) have since opened up since I applied. Is it possible to be considered for a different office for R2?

Usually office specific unless it’s an expert role. Unlikely to be possible to switch offices, but doesn’t hurt to ask recruiting

Dang, was debating explicitly flagging it before R1 but thought it was premature and maybe been a general pool. :( Thanks anyway

Regions, systems, and offices each have a target. Offers are definitely decided by the office that interviews and makes the offers.

Whether you ask now, after an offer, after you start - each is difficult or risky in its own way. Asking now before you have an offer risks seeming that you aren’t committed to the office - because you aren’t. Asking after an offer is risky because it’s the office that made the offer. Asking after you start will likely be a no until you have demonstrated exceptional performance that both offices say yes to a transfer.

It’s up to you which you want to risk. You can ask. They can say no.

Its a tough deal but given how much you will travel its possible to maintain a second home base off the record. Once you are a year or two in, you can request an official transfer (works really well if you establish a working relationship with principals and partners in the office you want to transfer to)

Offers are office specific, but I have seen people be accommodated because a spouse had an offer elsewhere.

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing.

If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?

Are ppl worried about being on the bench esp when there aren’t a lot of projects in the pipeline? New hire here about to be up for staffing for the first time and sentiment at my firm seems to be worried/fearful about being unstaffed. Is it actually worrisome to be on the bench in this environment or is this just a product of highly ambitious over achievers worrying about not being constantly utilized?
