Do you think it is possible to hand out too many referrals at once? Realistically, how many referrals could I give out in like a month before my employer thinks something is fishy?

If think it all depends on the quality of the referrals. If you’re referring people who are qualified for the roles the I don’t see the issue. Also making sure you’re honestly categorizing them. Some orgs track leads and referrals. Leads being people you met networking and aren’t people whose character / work ethic you can vouch for vs referrals being friends or previous coworkers who you know well. Generally compensated very differently by the org. My current company has a public leaderboard of people who have had the highest number of successful referrals and one guy on there has something insane like 500+

Just double checked and he’s high up in the engineering org. Kind of wondering if he had a company that we acquired and if everyone who was brought over was attributed as a referral. Next person on the list has 87 successful referrals which is still a lot.

funny

I only give referrals to those people I know that I can vouch for their qualities and skills. I don't want my name to be attached to someone who can't even do the basics of their job.

Can I get a referral? And then you can decide if it’s too much?

Absolutely. They can see who made the referral and will definitely bring it up during the interview. If your referral tells the partner you were just handing them out like candy... imagine how that would reflect on you.

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?
