How much weight do internal referrals actually have? Say if you have a manager referral, would that technically weigh more than just an associate? Or does it not really matter since any referral will get you to an interview where connections no longer matter

Does a referral from a Partner hit harder than an associate? Yes.

SA vs Mgr. is likely about who has more juice internally to move things along, and if they’re willing to push a Partner to push it. Otherwise, I expect it’s pretty much the same.

It depends, I had a senior manager refer me and I had a recruiter reach out next day for an interview but I’m pretty sure that’s because he went to the recruiting team versus a general referral. But I also got a referral from an SA and ending up getting an interview. I think it really comes down to who can push the recruiting team more to interview you

Referrals get your resume read by a human rather than processed by an automated system. That will happen regardless of rank of person who submits the referral.

However, a referral made by a partner/md may get a phone screen (not interview, necessarily) regardless of suitability for the role. I dont think that the call impacts ultimate interview or offer rates.
