I got a referral for a position from a Director at BlackRock, and my contact mentioned that they are in round two of interviews. Will this hurt my chances of getting an interview for the position?

I worked at BlackRock for 6 years, just left a month ago. It really depends whether the team. Referrals do not a guarantee you an interview. The majority of my referrals were ignored.

Who cares?? The answers you get here have aboslutely no bearing on whether or not you'll get this interview. That's like me asking you guys if NASAs going to call me back for the astronaut position I applied for. WTF knows?!

Furthermore, if so.eone said "yes, that will hurt your chances..." What would you do differently? I mean really, you got referred, applied...water under the bridge. "Sunk costs" for you financy types.

I really hope I’m doing a good job

Advice needed on handing in notice, I recently signed an offer letter and understand the screening process takes 4-6 weeks. I have a month's notice period and have agreed a preliminary start date in Feb.

I was planning on not handing my notice in until the checks had been completed so its all secured (not that I think I will fail any checks), but apparently I need a reference from my current employer not previous ones. Can't really do this without handing in notice can I?

Planning a trip to Rome and Naples with day trips to Tivoli and Pompeii. Is 1 week enough? I feel like reading through 3/4 day Rome and 2 day Naples itineraries, the trip seems rushed. I have unlimited PTO but my SO is limited in time (but luckily he can work extra hrs and then use less PTO). I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts? For reference, I did Venice-Florence-Rome in a week and it seemed okay but it also wasn’t as planned out
