It really does help if you can get a referral. I would suggest networking as much as you can.

But the networking piece makes a HUGE difference. Doing a lot of coffee chats with members of the team you’re interested in has an enormous impact.

Focus on networking or you can also reach out to recruiters. It's really important to have a wide network if you are targeting these companies. Good luck! :)

Networking helps...also check your school's alumni database. A lot of that stuff tends to happen by developing relationships as opposed to cold applying

I personally recommend Refermarket if you want to have a career mentorship - https://bit.ly/careerservices-refermarket

Three options: 1. Referral 2. Apply directly for Recent Grad roles related to your interests. 3. Apply for a non revenue role like Compliance/ Operations work in that space for at 18 months to 2 years, perform well while building relationships with target teams (ie. accounting) and get involved in internal initiatives outside of your role. Best time to apply is Q1 & Q2, best time to network/build relationships as a potential applicant Q3/Q4

Got a temp offer for less than a year without promise of turning into full-time. Wanted to know what ppl think about temp jobs (looks bad on resume if I don't turn full-time later within the company?) and what comp should look like (e.g. 1.2× of regular comp?).

Got another perm offer in a different industry for similar salary, but I might have to relocate and I'm concerned the work may involve translation instead of pure legal work.
