Got offered a role at a Middle East office at BCG - haven't accepted yet.
Anyway that I can transfer to a north American office (my current location) before I join? SO can't move to Dubai and while applying they didn't interview me for my current location just for the Dubai one.

I understand this may be a big ask, and I'm happy to interview again if need be.

You would have to fully restart the process. ME offices are much much easier to get into than NAMR. The alternative would be to work in ME for 1-2 years and attempt to transfer.

Dubai has been very competitive lately. Their growth is slower than NA and can tap into so many strong application pools across the UK, France, Lebanon and US. They tend to pick the kids with really high resume screening scores / tiers, and maintain a higher bar on offers. It’s drastically different for other ME offices. Some of our NA locations struggle finding strong applicants and never reach their aspirations.

Not immediately - after a year or so maybe

Curious - why do you want to move to BCG from McKinsey?

To answer your question - BCG is pretty much a regional-based - even the process between region can slightly varied - thus moving from one region to another region requires separate process. Even when you’re in for a few years you still need to do interviews to transfer office, but, not as thorough as when you first applied.
