Applying to lateral to McKinsey and have ~5 people who I feel comfortable asking to refer me. Does it help to have multiple referrals, or should I choose the most senior person?

Referral will get you an interview and that is it. It does not matter if you have multiple or not but a partner or SP referral will be more helpful.

Not sure about McK but we have a referral award. Meaning the person that refers you gets a financial reward if you accept your offer. So be transparent about your strategy to your referrers to avoid surprises when one gets told that you're already earmarked for another person's reward.

Choose the most senior person. And then 1 other. More wont help. Tell them what you want to do and they should be able to connect you.

I was hired on with a company at the same time as my male coworker. We work the exact position, different projects.
I asked him flat out what his salary was when he hired on. His salary is at minimum 15% more. He’s never had a raise.
Neither one of us had any experience in this specific position but he didn’t even have experience in the field, which I did.
I requested a performance and salary review because it’s my annual review time anyway. Best way to address this? Also applying elsewhere.

Moving on from Hotels (Hospitality)?

I’ve been thinking about this for awhile now, but it is very to commit to actually accept a new job offer since I really do love my job. My only complaint is, the pay vs workload is very small. I’m a manager now and my property offered me a director position… but the salary is still low! To make six figures, it’ll take another 5-6 years to grind it out.

Should I move on and go to a different industry? Opinions are welcome! Thanks in advance.
