Can someone please explain how the referral process for kpmg,ey, pwc and Deloitte work? What’s the difference between that and me applying through the website myself?

Generally they can increase the odds that your application will be seen by the recruiter and/or hiring manager and gives you a boost in the hiring process (expedited initial contact and interview process).

Ok thank you

What D1 said. Most referrals carry the same weight but just keep in mind some referrers might go above and beyond to help you land a job.

I know I encountered a referrer who directly connected with a recruiter to make a case on my behalf.

Thank you!

Hi all,
I'm graduating this fall with a B.A. in political science. I take the LSAT Nov. 12th and have a mentor helping me to apply to law school for the Fall 2022 cycle. If it matters my GPA is a 3.5 (possibly 3.6). I'm quickly realizing that I need a job in the meantime (starting January). I'm based in Boston and New York but if the position is lucrative enough I'm willing to relocate. Any high paying but temporary roles that anyone would reccomend?

Okay so I’m a newly licensed attorney in a very conservative part of TX. I just got my first job offer and I was worried at first thinking that I was in “Trump” territory, but I tested the waters in my interview and spoke about police injustices and how prosecutor’s job is not only to protect victims, but also defendants from police injustices. I have to let them know by tomorrow, but thoughts on if this is a good career move for someone who wants to work in transactional work-RE or Bankruptcy?

3 years ago I asked for a compensation review/raise, went through what felt like a ridiculous 8 MONTH long process of defending why it was warranted, only to be told no. 3 months ago I asked again and it has gone nowhere. I should add that salary bands are kept secret and I have no clue what the range for my position is. There are a decent amount of benefits in my position, the biggest being WLB, which is what has kept me here for so long. But I’m getting frustrated. What would you do?
