could i possibly get a referral also? I've interviewed before (earlier this year) but it didn't work out.

Not necessarily... had a friend with a 3rd connection to a FB recruiter... sent a message and surprisingly got a response. Friend is now employed at Facebook few months later.

I asked for a raise in April 2022 after three years with my company. Positive feedback since day one. Learned I was making less than peers at other asset managers in NYC with less experience (14 years). Latest conversation was with HR about how they calculate salaries. I’ve been asked to provide examples how my role has changed since I started to justify the increase. Is this normal? Or is this just their way of denying my request?
