I need 3-5 references for a position I'm applying to. I have 3, none of which are from PWC. I really want to ask my coach/manager if he would be willing to be one as well. I have a good relationship with him and he's always been the guy to say "congrats, I'm happy for you" when people leave the firm. Really torn if I should ask him or not.

You’d be surprised. Just ask. I asked 3 people currently at PwC and they were all more than happy to be a reference

If you trust him then should be no problem. I told a few partners before I left. Even asked them to look out for a job for me 😅

Read the Handbook. GT’s handbook discourage provide reference for current or former employees.

damn. I don't even know how to find the pwc handbook

Just do the three. References are almost never checked. It is best not to tell anyone at your current employer until you have an offer and start date at your new gig.

My references are checked yesterday. Actually I got a verbal offer pending reference check. I provided 3 and 1 told me that he was checked. Not sure the other 2.

Working for a senior who is beyond horrible. She talks to you like you’re stupid and makes it sound like you’re absolutely terrible at what you’re doing. She’s made 5 other associates cry during her 5 year career. Got someone fired and made another person quit. It’s known around the office that she can no longer have a female associate, because she talks down to females more than she does males. I came along and thought I could deal with it but she literally makes me want to not log on tomorrow.
