Yes. Honestly all my call backs in the past 2 months have come from cold job submissions (in tech and previously worked at ACN and Slalom for reference)
I’m at a cloud consulting firm.
Maybe not the best strategy but it worked for me. I’ve gotten two jobs using this strategy now. Both jobs seeking times took more than 100 applications but it worked

Yes. I’ve only had success applying without a referral weirdly. Just make sure your resume has all applicable skills and it’ll get picked up. I also previously worked at Accenture, interviewed at all the big 4s.
Accenture experience probably helps a lot. Thanks for the input!
It’s harder but still worth it. When I was hunting it was 1/3 cold applying, 1/3 using my netowrk, and 1/3 building my network
I applied cold to BCG from industry and got hired. It works sometimes.
Wow what industry?
None of my internships / positions came by referral which is weird now that I think about it
Why are you asking this question? What's the harm in applying?

I’ve never written a cover letter. Your time is better spent crafting your resume to the job description so it’ll get picked up by bots.
I’ve never used any internal references for any of the jobs I’ve been hired for. I’ve also never written any cover letters so yes it’s worth it.
