Fishbowl community - seeking advice! Should ask my girlfriend, who's in a pretty senior position at MBB to refer me to her company. I got laid off recently, and honestly, feeling stuck in my career right now. I'm currently working as a senior associate in investment banking (tier 2/3 firm). My goal is to transition into an operating role (private equity or BizOps) within the next 5 years. Even if she refers me, I understand that it does not guarantee the job, but I'm committed to preparing.

Interviewed for Meta exactly 2 weeks ago today. Contacted the recruiter last Tuesday and they said they were waiting to hear back from the hiring manager to discuss the interview results. Anyone that interviewed or gotten a job with Meta how did it take from the onsite to get your decision?
