That's the big one. Having a personal in at a company can get you interviews you might never have been able to land on your own. I don't know this to be true, but I suspect being among the first to apply to new job postings helps too. Once a couple hundred applications have poured in, your odds of getting noticed have to be slim to none.

I'm in finance/tech FPA, looking to go back to the defense industry for a 25% increase in TC. But wanted to see if I should leverage the new salary with current company to see if they'll match.

Background: got a promotion at current company that didn't come with sufficient increase . After stating my case I was told it would be evaluated next October, which is what prompted the initial job search.

Current TC 103K [88/15], offer 125k base [+discretionary bonus].
