How do you navigate getting a referral on a platform like this? Genuinely curious on if HR/Recruiting asks how you know the person you're referring, or if they don't care where the referral comes from.
Really interested in a junior PM role at Razorfish. A close friend currently works for a different Publicis org, so not sure if a referral from them would mean anything.

Eid Mubarak folks!!
Many who repatriate are lured by a vibrant startup scene in India that is drawing unprecedented capital from venture and private equity firms and is buoyed by an effervescent market for stocks. But they are also disenchanted with what they perceive as America’s bleak and hopeless immigration landscape, where the wait times for green cards are tortuously long, and the limits on launching startups for newcomers are highly restrictive.

Don’t take it personally. I am always taught to be thankful and grateful. They are not taught to be so. Just take it easy.

Yep I don't... because as I said, the relationships are fine and the people in question reciprocate in other ways, but the lack of an explicit acknowledgment is something I've found odd and I was trying to fig out if it was a cultural / generational difference that I was oblivious to.
This is a serious flaw that is getting worse over the years. Old school America and some well mannered families still practice good etiquette, but by and large most people don’t care or simply don’t have the etiquette. I’m one of those who calls or emails people on their birthdays, I’m always sending a gift for weddings or significant events, and every holiday season I give my clients and teams small gifts. It is only rarely that I get a thank you or acknowledgement. It used to really bother me, but I’ve learned to grudgingly accept the ghosted acknowledgment. It is a sad state of affairs, where basic mannerisms is a dying trait in America!
It’s the new gen that i’ve seen lack basic etiquettes of what we consider basic. Times are changing so who knows thank you will be a thing of the past 🥺

People are pretty socially awkward. Also, I’d make a distinction between cards and gifts. In general, people don’t really acknowledge cards, gifts is a mixed bag.

Cool! So you've observed the same, it validates some of what I've been seeing and yeah I meant gifts.

When I was in my 20s I always made it a point to send a couple of seniors who had helped me through the year a gift during the holidays as a gesture of thanks for their help and support. I never received an explicit thank you from them (I never expected it - I was the one saying thanks by way of the gift) but there was always the “hey my wife and I really liked the bottle
of wine you sent” type of acknowledgment at some point in the new year. I never really did a lot of gift giving / receiving in India so I’m not sure how that compares.

Assuming you're the famous chef SAP - the only gift you should be worried about is cooking amazing things in huge quantities. Chappar phad ke "thank you" bolenge 🙏🏽

If someone forwarded me a holiday email greeting/card that I know is a mass email, I would not respond
Send me a personalized email or a gift and I will respond with a thank you and be a lot more appreciative.
Did you bcc a bunch of people on a mass holiday greeting? Cause thats annoying
All the EAs I've ever delt with have been very gracious and appreciate of Holiday gifts. However, I do know they generally prefer cash because they don't make as much as professionals and they do alot. They even do personal requests which are things that are not in their job description. Perhaps your EA is simply ungrateful but that is certainly not the reaction of a typical EA.
