Does LinkedIn networking for a referral actually help when applying? I feel like I’m struggling to maintain a good relationship with execs to make that referral request naturally.

So a week ago, I asked on this bowl why my application was showing under "Business Review" even though I hadn't had a single interview or call from Citi, today, they sent me an automated email saying thanks for interviewing but the role is no longer available? Has Citi confused me with someone else? So weird! And no way to contact anyone in the HR team....so maybe I'm just going to stop applying to Citi because clearly they are promoting internally and just opening up these jobs as a show 🤷‍♀️

So what do you think is a fair salary for a Business Analyst role if you had over 10 years experience of implementation, in this case, it's learning management implementation and in all five implementations you've actually worn the Business Analyst role as one of the hats. It's for a global data security organization. I don't want to rule myself out and they're not offering up a range. I research the company and salary ranges from $110-$120k.

What do you think?

What honestly helps me the most is knowledge share between peers at work- seeing briefs from other teams and talking to other strategists about how they've approached different problems and why. It's great if you have a planning team that does this semi regularly, if not, definitely something to bring up with department heads. I've also found it helpful to read through things like case studies from recent 4As/ Effies to get a peek into some successful thinking.
