How hard is it to get a transfer to BCG SF from a smaller office (not in the West system) after a year of tenure as a consultant? My performance has been good so far and I think it’ll be the same for my upcoming CDC as well. I want to talk to my CDA about a transfer by EOY.

I lived in SF before for five years and the reason I want to move back is because I am realizing that I just enjoy being in SF a lot more (friends/lifestyle/weather). Has anyone successfully done this and any advice?

Have you done any cases with people from there? Always helps if someone there knows you. Know that you may have to interview to move. They have to accept you personally, not just be recruiting for your level.

I would bring it up in your review. Let them know you love working for BCG, but with so many friends (family?) back in SF your long-term goal is to move back there. You were thinking that it would be better to do that now, if possible, before you get promoted and start building a pyramid. And see what they advise.

Working with that MDP counts. Means someone there knows you. If they liked you, you might not have to interview to make the move. Mention that connect when you ask and transferring

Depends on the system but shouldn’t be too hard if you have some pull

Believe SF is looking for people

During 2016, I was selected for wipro as a fresher undergone training, but I did not clear the training exams, so wipro terminated me.During tht time I created NSR profile, after tht I joined another MNC as fresher. I never mentioned wipro exp as previous exp anywhere. Now recently I got a offer frm wipro. here also I did not tell that I was earlier termined by wipro.If wipro asks me to provide NSR details during my joining, does NSR have my previous exp in their db? Does it affect my joining with wipro?

I wanted to use this to strengthen my app to BCG as an experienced hire and possibly for an MBA in the future.

For the MBA programs I'm looking at this score is fine but is this a score that can help my BCG app in a MCOL Canadian city?
