Is there a good way to approach someone you used to work with but never really talked to for a referral to their current company? I saw someone who used to work for the same company I did years ago is now at a place I'm applying to. I want to ask for a referral but I doubt they know who I am, we only saw each other in passing before.

While I believe it’ll even out when filing, I’d be paying state tax in both states throughout the year, right?
