JPMorgan Chase Did a first round interview for a senior level position at JP Morgan.. hiring manager said I should receive a call back within a couple of weeks.. been over a month.. no intimation post that.. the HR in charge of hiring or scheduling haven’t replied to my emails on what comes next and haven’t scheduled anything. So should I consider this as a dead end ? Does this generally happen at JP? Feels weird that I have been ghosted after what I felt was a very good interview.. Was a good fit too.JPMorgan Chase
I am currently interviewing at TikTok for the Content Partnerships Lead role. Can anyone share some insight into the salary bands in the Sub-Saharan African market? Should I benchmark with the global rates?
Any tips and experiences interviewing in this region are also welcome - and highly appreciated! :)

Send him this thread, I bet he'll stop asking and invite you to dinner to celebrate!
He must be joking, right? I’d just laugh at him and say “no way buddy- take a hike”. I’d be taking him for a drink tho. I wouldn’t discuss it at all with him. If he ever asks again, just laugh at him and say:- “my referral bonus is none of your business…you scab”

Plus say “then you share your signing bonus with me- so we’re even.”
It’s not discussed prior, no need to share

Nah, you gotta talk about that upfront before the referral is even made and depends how close that friend is with you.
And definitely not if you gotta clean them up prior to the interview (actually they should split signing if this is the case)
Lol I’d never refer someone who expects me to split referral bonus.
Rising Star
At most, you owe him drinks
Chief
He owes you, not you owe him. You did him a favor by referring him
Just reply “lol”
He owes you! Not the other way around! You kidding?!
Referral bonuses are for employees who refer job applicants to the company--not to the new hires themselves. Signing bonuses are for the new hires themselves. Just like you wouldn't ask him for a portion of his signing bonus, he shouldn't ask you for part of your referral bonus. That's a pretty outlandish request on his part. Do not share your employee referral bonus. And I hope he takes you to lunch for recommending him to your organization! -- Former CHRO, Nickelodeon
He shouldn’t have asked, at most I would of taken him out for drinks but since he asked after he ain’t getting nothing.
This is so strange! And the nerve. You don’t owe him anything. And stay away from this person.
5k for a referral bonus 😩
Yeah that is wild
Just respond with - ‘😅😅 shouldnt you be taking me out for dinner to celebrate??’
What a weird thing to ask someone. Hell no.
Also, remember this as you deal with the person in the future. It’s very telling of their character.
You don’t owe this person anything
Tell home you’ll split the referral bonus if he splits the signing bonus.
I recently was referred by an old coworker to return to a previous company. I definitely did not ask for his bonus. Rather I sent him a $200 gift in gratitude for getting myself visible to the hiring manager, I did the rest.
You are not supposed as it would be a bribe. Say no.
Wtf type of social idiocy is your "friend" you make it easier for him to get employed and he feels entitled to a referral bonus. That's not how referral bonuses work. That bonus is yours. Don't share it with the leech. Dude sounds greedy af. Reminds me of a friend I had to sever relationship with because he wanted me to pay for everything when we went out
Omg, the audacity he has. Can you refer me? I will even buy you a dinner if i got the offer.
You help them level up their life and this is their reaction? Utterly toxic reaction that lacks any sense of judgment

Just say you never got one
Lol. That would be a no.
