We don't have 90% of the information. Do you like the guy? Do you think they are qualified for the role? Have you stayed in touch? Was he good at his job when he worked there? Why did they leave previously? Do you want to work with them? Would you want them on your team? If the answer to the above is no or bad, then I wouldn't feel an obligation. Also staff versus manager has quite a different weight behind it.
OP, shouldn't be awkward for you. He's asking to come in as an M. If he reports to you, just make sure to respect the knowledge he brings in. Help him get promoted faster. I've been older than my Ms for years. My best Ms are the ones that have me act as the M.
So he helped you out and is now asking for help in return? Seems pretty simple to me.
I'd refer pretty much anyone for the referral bonus

And your point for posting this is?
Weird brag
Refer him to the manager position. Is this awkward or should I go for it? Thoughts?
In curious as to how you have progressed so far in this business if something like this would feel "awkward" to you.
What is this, a case interview?
If he was a senior in 2005 I think he'd be ready for a M position
Eh, maybe weird for a couple days but if he's going for a manager role, he is signing up for it. No different than if one person get promoted and another doesn't. Got to just get over it. Clients create enough problems already.
It's SC vs M. The OP was a staff in the original scenario.
No reservations referring him. The weird part is that he may end up on one of my engagements and report to me. I used to work for him on one of his engagements back in the day. It would be awkward for me.
Referral $$$ are referral $$$
Very interesting range of responses. Some very mature thoughts and some just plain "interesting". Thanks everyone.
It's confusing that op is a high ranking adult who feels awkward being in a position of power over someone they haven't worked with in over a decade. Usually people who are that successful wouldn't be weirded out by this. It's just unusual.
If you think he'd be a good fit for the position, go for it
I knew senior managers here who were partners elsewhere, earlier in their career - and there were partners here that had worked for them.
At senior manager and above, this isn't uncommon
SA1, it's confusing that OP has this question. And the situation is only awkward if OP is very insecure.
