Submitted 4. One invited to interviews that are still coming up. Have discontinued referring people I haven't at least spoken to over the phone and gotten a good sense they would have a chance - complete waste of everyone's time otherwise.

To come in as a lateral, I honestly don't think so. Process takes a few months anyway plus your start date might be a while after the offer date.

I've successfully referred a lateral hire to the Associate position. Advice from recruiting team was to apply in the late Winter/ early Spring - a bunch of A's and C's will have just left and the new batch of hires haven't started yet

Would anyone have interest to review a resume for referral?

happy to review resume. bcg.referral@gmail.com

What were the stats on your referral, @BCG1?

Thank you for the screen BCG1 I appreciate the time, I sent you an email this evening

Oh, sorry didn't mean your success rate. Just the type of candidate that was successful!

Hi Everyone,
Any suggestions on networking in the private finance sector?
I recently transitioned from public to private sector finance to be more well-rounded and I’m having a hard time connecting with people in the space. I work for a fund admin in the digital asset space for HF & PE/VC firms and I noticed how much “bro culture” seems to impact the industry. Networking is hard enough working from home but I know how important it is to make those connections.

Rant: I finally got a baby registry started and sent the link to family... and immediately was told all the things I need on there that I don't have (including things I'm opting to just NOT GET, like an electric pump - why is my nursing preference up for debate????). I hate it already. I'm tempted to take it down, buy it all myself and just tell people to start a college fund if it bothers them.

I'm 38, have had 4 miscarriages and the PRESSURE OF THIS PREGNANCY is unreal.
