Anybody know if referrals are super critical for corporate jobs at Lyft? There are two roles related to product strategy/ops/finance that I think are both great fits for me. Considering just applying, but curious if anyone has any input here? Given the volume of applicants Lyft likely deals with in all of their postings, feels like my apps might not even see the light of day. Thanks!

Referrals help but aren’t critical. I would warn there’s lots of talk of more layoffs occurring in the next couple of weeks so referrals may be moot if they try to rehome any internal folks that may be impacted (if they even keep the posting open).

Good to know! Appreciate it! I may just shoot my shot given a referral at this point would be from a stranger anyway haha.

It depends. I interviewed with offer years ago. No referral. If you have impressive creds (top tier schools) and/or good experience, referrals will only slightly aid imo.

If you’re able to get one from the teams you’re applying to, then it’ll probably carry more weight than one from a completely unrelated team. But also, like someone said there might be layoffs again soon given recent shakeups in leadership

Recruiter reached out a few weeks ago about an ER role. I don’t have the finance background but want to pivot. I had a first round interview that I thought I bombed but I got a second.

She asks me about salary & availability to start and says she’ll try and get an update from the team. I haven’t heard & im wondering if I got rejected
