Make $120k Accenture now doing tech implementations, just got offer 200k TC EY business consulting. I love my job, have a great WLB (working 20 hours per week, no travel, clear path to M in about 1.5 years) - am I an idiot for even contemplating staying? What I would be doing is more PPT/functional vs Onestream/technical which I do now.
Can anyone please case me today?

Yup, I’ve got an interview for MBB from cold applying online without any referral.
Did you have a really strong resume/cover letter/experience?
Most people on LinkedIn don’t accept my invitation to connect and if they do, they don’t reply back when I message them asking to chat about their experience at xx company, even if I mention a personal connection (alumni of the same school, used to work at the same company, went to the same high school and literally have 50 mutual connections, etc). With all the waiting, those roles end up filling up and then I don’t have a chance anyway. So my question is, is it really not worth applying to any job posting without a referral? Getting the referral for tier 2/3 companies has proven really difficult. I’m feeling really hopeless y’all, any advice/feedback would be appreciated and if anyone wants to offer a referral I would not decline 😅
Yes, got a job at a FAANG a few weeks ago after applying online this summer. Found role through LinkedIn
I’ve tried at apple, google, and Facebook with a referral. Got an initial call with Facebook but was told there were no positions open matching my background. Nothing from the others. Hence feeling hopeless 😭
Yes I actually refused a referral for my job at IBM because I didn’t like the person that was offering one. I still got the job.
I also landed a MBB interview loop without referral. Went through campus recruiting and submitted a mini project to back my skills. They appreciated it a lot.
Actually all the applications I had a referral for went south 😂
Coach
Funny enough I didn’t get an interview at the tech places where I had a referral but did end up getting a role that I cold applied to at a tech unicorn. I think the key is applying early and also a little bit of luck
Sometimes I wonder if cold applying takes away the “burden of expectation” that comes with a referral? Or am I overthinking here?
