I am so excited because I received an invitation to interview with Google. This is a great opportunity for me. I going to be interviewing in a few weeks. Could anyone provide a referral? I am really not sure if this is not okay to ask. Feel free to drop any other comments or advices.

If you are already selected to interview, you don't need a referral. Plus at most companies, referrals need to be entered before you apply for the job.

You've been invited. Be proud, a referral could definitely help but it's not super necessary. They will ask if you know anyone at Google, so just answer honestly and worry more about preparing for the interviews than a referral.

Source: Got invited, went through with no referral. Got the job.

Awesome! That helps. Thank you so much.

I have a question, I got a contract role through a recruiter. Initially the recruiter offered the hourly pay rate which was the minimum in my range. Now I got an offer from the company. Now without me asking her she increased the hourly wage to the maximum range I asked. Which makes me doubt if the company increased it or she knew the rate all along but gave me the lower rate ?
