Bain & Company My MBB🐠, when applying as a lateral, say I am applying to the NY offices, do my referrals have to be from people based out of the NY office for them to have an impact, or they would also work if they are from ppl in other offices?

Context: currently at a T2 in NYC, but most of my college friends who work at MBB are in the Midwest

For BCG, no they don’t have to be from the office but it might make the difference between a strong referral and a very strong one.
