I met someone and their son is a director at Morgan Stanley. He told me to give him a call and potential have a talk about working there . How are Morgan Stanley advisors compensated. I ask because I left another firm and they have tried to charge me charge backs on commissions that have come back.

l am currently a rising junior in
college interning this summer at
Amazon as a Business Analyst. I
would really like to break into
product management and believe in
my 5 weeks so far I have shown skills
to back that up. Would it be
acceptable to ask my manager to
recommend me for a product
management internship next
summer? My midpoint meeting with
my manager (and his manager) is
next Friday

I wish it was outdated, but it’s still standard. I agree that it’s inauthentic to passively maintain some connections by reaching out once per year just so it’s not awkward in 5 years to reach out for a job reference when you change jobs.
If you pick the right ones, yes. Although, I’m sure people in talent acquisition would have things to say about this.
Had 5 to 7 referrals...all led to auto rejections.
I’m sorry. It’s tough out there. Hope you find something soon if you still haven’t!
I always looked at it as making sure there was no huge glaring issue. If somebody remembers you from a decade ago, typically it isn't for a good reason, if you haven’t kept in touch that is. Not really sure if this is the correct way to look at it or not, but that’s how I do when going far back for references.
