I'm applying now, but my spouse may get transferred to another city before interviews. If that happens, is it reasonable to ask recruiting to change my preferred office?

Recruiter asked how flexible I am on office location before interviews. Can my answer affect my chances?
- Office Selection
A recruiter asked whether I'm flexible on office location before scheduling interviews. I do have a preferred city, but I could realistically move. I'm worried that sounding too flexible makes me look unfocused, while being too specific could hurt my chances.

Can I change my preferred MBB office after submitting my application but before interviews?
- Office Selection
I already submitted my application with one office as my first choice, but my situation changed and another office now makes more sense. I haven't interviewed yet. Is changing the preference possible, and when should I raise it?

Should I avoid choosing a very small office because there may be fewer projects?
- Office Selection
A smaller office appeals to me because I like the people and location, but I worry the project mix could be limited compared with a major hub. Is office size something candidates should seriously factor into the decision?

Mayank G.CoachOffice size matters, but consider it together with staffing model, industry mix, and how much work is shared across offices.
