Yes referrals help 95% of the time if you aren't recruited. It gets you in to the interview, it doesn't necessarily get you preferential treatment for the position though. Unless your referral is a partner that wants to staff you asap.

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.
