How much does MBB, particularly BCG enforce the proximity to office rule especially since covid hit? I’m in early interview stages and live 2 hours drive from a BCG office where I’m applying.

They *said* we had to be back in our home cities by July 4th of this year. But most cases are still super flexible in terms of remote work. Haven’t seen any enforcement, and have seen people still living in other cities besides their home city.

What’s the general range for home cities?I’ve heard anything from 90 minutes to the office it 150km

It’s going back to enforced next year. Recognize this is for your own good for the most part. There are options to be away from office but you have to pay for things like local hotels

Depends on the office and OL. You should plan to drive or train in on at least 1 Friday/month for office meetings

That’s gonna be super annoying unless you have a good airport nearby

Yep my city has excellent regional connections and a fair amount of international too so my biggest concern is what if the policy of 150km or whatever it may be is enforced

Thanks in advance
