Hi there,

This is indeed an interesting question which is probably relevant for quite a lot of users, so I am happy to provide my perspective on it:

  • Yes, they did, but you will be at a great disadvantage compared to other candidates.
  • I would advise you to first focus on the regions and countries where it is meaningful (i.e. you have work permits, speak the local language aso.) to apply to. Consulting companies will do their best to offer you the experience you want to, but you should equally bring your share to the table.

In case you want a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare your upcoming consulting interviews, please feel free to contact me directly.

I hope this helps,

Hagen

Yes they do but this is not going to be easy as local (UK) based candidates will be looked at first. Its not impossible though and if you network well, you can land an internship.

Hello!

Not sure if I understand your question. Do you mean: do MBBs sponsor visas in Europe for people that are doing an MBA internship? 

Cheers, 

Clara

Hi there,

Yes, they do, but you're at a disadvantage so to speak to other candidates. Ultimately, make sure you apply to offices that make sense (i.e. you have working rights, work experience, education, where you currently live, where you've networked etc.) in order to maximize your odds of getting invited to interview!

Yes, but you're at great disadvantage. They will likely suggest that you apply to a different office.
