Applied for Sr. Associate role at PwC through referral and received rejection letter. Did not make into the first round. 5 YOE at a local boutique firm specializing in HR technology with master degree in I/O. Require visa sponsorship (H1B transfer).
How much does referral increase one’s chance? And does it vary by firm? Any insights would be appreciated!

It's most likely due to the visa requirement.

Thanks!

Did you apply for HR Tech role or change management or org design?

OP - My understanding is that most companies only sponsor H1B when there aren’t enough available skills within the regular pool of candidates. Sponsorship occurs most often for tech roles that are high demand, such as software developers/engineers.

For HR and people consulting, it’s rare that H1B sponsorship occurs because the cost/ROI isn’t worth it, as there are pools of people available with those skill set.

Biden just lifted the visa requirements imposed by the Trump administration. Afaik, all the large firms rejected H1B for the last several years. Wait for policies to revert back and try again.

Hi! I have been working in marketing and advertising for ~5 years and recently started exploring the freelance side of things. I started conversations with a small boutique studio about doing Facebook ads for them and they asked what my retainer fee would be to manage them. Since I’ve always worked for a company that was hired to do it I am not entirely sure what a freelance rate for that should be? I would love any insight. I’m certified through meta’s platform too if that matters.
