Why not

Only reason i wouldnt is i dont want to be pushing them or anything, i know things take a long time

Probably fine. Your referer should be able to track your status in some dashboard. Not much they can do if hiring team is not moving forward.

I’d ask — 3 weeks is a rather long time to not hear back in my experience. Usually my referrals get a rejection / interview request within a week of me referring them

Mck took 4 months to invite me to interview after I applied with a referral. Don’t sweat it

Oooof. Maybe boutiques are faster haha

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious?

But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.
