Will likely have to start at entry level, and it’ll probably be really hard to get into anything other than a small local / boutique firm. Some industry companies have internal consulting positions that are geared towards IA/ PI

How does one get referrals - particularly if you aren't from a target uni? Feels a bit forceful asking people you network with, if they'd be comfortable doing this at the end of your conversation.
Also are there any restrictions in place for each firm (e.g the referrer must have worked with the candidate previously, etc)?

I was rejected at Netflix right after passing the recruiter screening. The reason given is that they're looking for someone who has worked on longer-term projects.

Has anyone else encountered this kind of bias against independents working on shorter-term projects?
