How much does it help someone’s recruitment process if they have an employee referral? Does it help to get the initial contact but you’re on your own from there? More slack for the whole experience?

Helps you get in and get an interview very little beyond that unless it’s from someone very senior

Agree with the above. All but guarantees an interview. From there, work with the person that referred you to prepare for what types of questions will be asked, what items on your resume to highlight/translate well to the job you’re interviewing for, and gain an understanding for the specifics of the role you’re interviewing for. Additionally, craft your story prior to the interview, and go into it with detailed examples that support you’re overarching storylines. Preparation and detail matter, and you don’t want to be scrambling for answers you haven’t previously identified and framed.

Got an offer from pwc in the data privacy role.
With 13.5 Lpa currently i’m at 12 and made switch on march.
Though my current company is an mnc but not that big and no work pressure is there, amazing work life balance. However, there is little to no learning and its very slow, the project is just starting and the client itself is not clear what they want. Do you think I should switch just because its a big 4. Please help me decide. Yoe -3.5
