How do referrals work when the application doesn’t have a “referred by” blank? I’m seeing this a lot with tech companies like google. I assume I need a reference but how does it work in this situation?

For Facebook, you apply on your own and then your referer submits the referral separately (you provide them with your email and the link to the job posting). You then get an email confirming that you’ve been referred.

What if someone applies first and then gets a referral a few days later? Does that hurt your chances?

like

For Google, you need to get the referrals before you start applying. Once a person refers you, you a get a special link to apply for jobs.

At Amazon someone needs to refer you to a job(s). Then you’ll get an email asking you to complete additional details of the application.

At AWS, we refer you to a specific job and submit your resume. Once that’s completed the applicant goes to the AWS job board to complete the application.

Should I renege offer from MBB?

An MBA recent grad. I signed with MBB last year. However, I have always wanted to do tech PM. I couldn’t find PM job in Fall and just signed MBB offer I have. I recently got an FAANG offer. It’s PM function, hard to break in with consulting experience. I declined the new offer during interview stage and again after they gave me initial offer, but it is coming back with 80k more in annual compensation. It made me so torn!! Should I renege MBB offer?

Serious question: do I *need* MBB on my resume to have good exit ops from consulting? I have an M7 MBA, but struggled to land interviews because I didn’t have big brands on my resume (confirmed by recruiters). I wouldn’t be surprised if most/all F100 and FAANG hired MBB only.

Looking at exits into pharma and biotech. Have an opp at a biotech at the SM level. Total comp excluding equity is around $190k; RSUs vest over 4 years with annual refreshers, so first year equity would be around $6,200 and it would go up by $6,200 each of the next 3 years, plus whatever base bump I get. Very good benefits package.

They envision 2-3 years before I jump either to AD or right to D. Solid opp? Or hold out to go straight to director level?
