Hi everyone,

I’ve heard thatMBB firmstypically havelimits on the number of applicationsyou can submit (e.g. max 2 applications every 6 months, depending on the firm).

Do similar limits apply toother consulting firms, such asEY-Parthenon, Strategy&, Monitor Deloitte, and other strategy houses you may know? In particular, can you reapply freely, or are there restrictions on how often and how widely you can apply across different offices and regions?

Also, I had a question aboutreferrals: Do referrals need to come fromsomeone in the same office or countrywhere you're applying? For example, could I ask for a referral from someone working atEY in Italyif I’m applying to a role at EY-Parthenon in Luxembourg? Or do firms typically only consider local referrals?

Thanks a lot in advance for your help!
