My game plan is to first build a rapport, give my "elevator pitch" on my background (crafted to match the description of the role), ask about what the firm expects of people at that level, and finally if they felt I was a fit and if so, would they be comfortable referring me. Am I nuts for trying to get a referral this way? I understand a partner referral doesn't guarantee an offer, but if I feel I have a decent shot if I can get in front of people for the interview/case studies.
partner referral will probably get you an interview but probably will not impact how you get evaluated in the interview...
yes, I understand that. this post is aimed towards getting the referral.
