Ask for introduction to partners/principals in your office/area of choice

I usually will be happy to refer you to recruiting / setup other informational with Managers and below (provided you sound like an interesting candidate), but am reluctant to introduce to partners. Not sure what sort of crazy question needs a partner to answer it, it just feels like the candidate wants a suck-up call.

I've completed technical and managerial round at citiustech. It went well.
I'll have my HR round probably on Monday.
On their application they've said they're accepting only upto 60 days notice period candidates. But I'm having 90 days notice period, if I tell them about this 90 days notice period now in HR round will they understand my situation and select me?
Please guide me I really want to get selected in this company and switch from my current employer.

I started interviewing early Oct with a company that reached out via recruiter. The hiring manager was very straight forward with me that I was his top candidate and I was told all other interviews were very positive incl CMO. The recruiter said they'd be making an offer but it's now been three weeks. Anyone else had the process drag on like this? Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?

Hello fishes!
Would appreciate your advice.
I have 2 yoe of Procurement in EPC.
Currently looking to get into SCM. I am not able to land interview calls. Interested in Mumbai region.

Should I pay to get my resume fixed? Because I’m having absolutely no luck in finding internships. I’m a Computer Information Systems trying to get my first internship. I don’t even know what to do at this point.

I’m at a late-stage startup right now and helping optimize their recruiting process. I’d love to hear your raw thoughts - what did you like/dislike at Series C-E startups where you’ve interviewed? Do you expect a live case / take-home case? What’s reasonable? Anything else?

I am a mid level and have received an offer from a regional big law firm in a non-market paying location. I believe the firm would be a great fit and the location is where I want to be. The biggest issue is money. I’d be lateraling from full cravath in a major market and the initial offer I received is a bit off that (read: 50% salary reduction). While the market is cheaper in some respects, housing is not. How far can I expect this firm to go to in terms of compensation? Any negotiation tips?
