Is it true that if you don’t hear back within 3 days after an application/employee referral it’s usually a no go? I’ve heard that from a bunch of people.

Anyone have experience otherwise?

Not sure, what company are you inquiring about

This is for a Series A startup, in the past, typically if I was getting an interview I’ve gotten responses from an application within a day or two. If the few days past, it was always a rejection email that came a couple weeks later. Never experienced otherwise.

Look you never now what happens in the background. People on leave, people need to provide feedback about you etc

Nope, took me 1 week to get an offer at my last job. BCG was awesome and I got the offer right away. But BCG is exceptional when it comes to timeliness.

It’s def taken more than 3 days for me even with referrals. Every situation is different

not true.

Well if it helps, a start up recruiter reached out and after some back and forth, they told me to pick a job out of the list.

I just ghosted them.

Can anyone help me with an information on how EY INDIA provides variable to employees. I know it's 0-20%, so is it monthly ? or what kind of measures they consider in order to provide variable pay.
Also, suppose the package is 6 Lakhs, so can we say that the package is 600000 + 20% of 6 Lakhs = 720000. (As EY has 20% variable Pay)

Thanks in Advance !
