Awesome, let me put down that I referred you too. If they don’t get the job oh well you done all you can to help, if they do, referral bonus.

“Good luck”

I swear people think we’re magic because we work at a firm.

A referral, at least at MBB, is an endorsement/recommendation of the person you’re referring. Unless you believe the person can cut it, don’t do it. It’s wasting interviewers’ time and the firm’s money and will hurt your credibility and how future referrals are viewed if your referrals aren’t getting offers.

Lol such a subtle way of asking for help. Have a chat with them and see if they really cut it. If so, then do what you can to help. Being kind and helping others is always the answer.

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
