If you ask someone if they’d be open to sending you a referral link for an in house job posting but don’t respond right away, should you just apply (bc you assume they don’t want to help) or would you follow up? Last time I waited too long, the posting went down

You know, I think putting in a referral seems like a given but when I was in house, I really felt like I was putting my neck on the line if I referred someone. Some people just aren’t comfortable with that.

How “not right away”?

But I’d think about how close you are with them? If just a random law school/college alum, then maybe apply but if you worked with for like a year or two and think they’d vouch, I would follow up

Just apply. And if they get back to you they’ll refer you through. It’s not an “either or” scenario

At my company (massive tech) it's either or -- once you apply you can't go through the referral process.
