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'm in the final round of interviews for two internal positions - both vertical. One has FTE's (my first such experience) and the other a much broader scope vs my current role

I had interviewed externally for a role on par w the internal roles, at a smaller and less established company. They confirmed +20% was in their range

How do I push back on my company if they offer less than that, if I do want one of those roles? Without a pay scale, what is the best way to approach?
