Should airport and travel convenience affect which consulting office I choose?

Mayank G.CoachTreat the partner connection as a positive signal, not the entire office decision. One strong conversation can tell you something about the people, but it cannot represent every team, practice or staffing experience in that location.

Mayank G.CoachYes, a real personal reason for the location can be a credible office choice even without prior professional ties.

I have several contacts in one office, but another office fits my industry interests and location preferences much better. Is the stronger network enough reason to choose the first office?

Mayank G.CoachChoose the office where you have the strongest credible fit, not simply the office where you collected the most contacts. Networking can support an application, but it should not override a materially better long-term fit.
