How does the BCG referral system work? Do people feel comfortable submitting a referral after a cold call? I hopped off a chat with someone and i think it went well, but I didn’t bring up the referral thing. I am thinking to follow up in email and ask (in case they feel uncomfortable to respond to me on the call) how would this come off as? If I’m a campus hire are referrals even necessary?

We cannot give referrals where we actively recruit, but sometimes we can influence the recruiting team. If you wowed them, they might put in a good word.

The referral form asks how we know you, so it will be clear you had a cold call intro.

Common knowledge is it is a disadvantage to the candidate from a salary negotiation process. I'm also told hiring decisions at places like AWS & GCP take time and it might be a few months before an offer letter is received.

I’ve always gotten the advice that when you want to switch jobs you should take interviews from places you’re not actually interested in, so you can understand your value in the market and have better negotiating power.

I’m doing that rn - took a couple interviews to gauge my skills, my market value, and see what I need to work on for interviews that I actually care about.

However, I feel really guilty about wasting their time and going all the way knowing I’ll just say no at the end. Wwyd?

Now 8/10 teammates have switched within < 1 year of project start (6-7 months with him) which tbh had good work in our opinion and even team was fun to work with even though none of us ever met in person.
