Alvarez & Marsal Is a referral helpful after you’ve already sent in an application? I just send one in for a position at Alvarez & Marsal and about to prepare one for Kearney.

If anyone from either company is willing to chat about their experience and ther interview process it would be greatly appreciated 🙏

A partner referral is always good, anytime

I think prior to submitting you should try to get a LinkedIn into a second or 3rd connection. Speak to them about the company culture, why they like it, etc.

At least at EY, the timing of the referral matters for the referrer, because if you apply before the referral the referrer won’t get a bonus. So if that’s the case at other places you should seek out a referral before applying yourself as people would be more likely to help you if there’s a monetary incentive. Aside from that, all a referral does is gets someone to look at your resume, it’s doesn’t even guarantee an interview.

I’m looking to transition from an academic medical center to pharma or a biotech. I have about 8 years of clinical research experience overall — 7 years combined as a CRC (CRC I, CRC II, and senior CRC) and 1 year as a PM. I’m also recently ACRP-CP certified.

I’ve worked with many different industry-sponsors and CROs throughout the years, but many jobs I am applying to require experience at a biotech/CRO/pharma company. Would really appreciate any advice or referrals. Thanks in advance!

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

DM me for referral to Mitre. Great pay and benefits and really smart coworkers. Engineering background preferred
