It does, got my new job like that. LinkedIn Premium is where it's at, OP. My team at my new company is all ex-EY, that's another way of finding connections.

Reach out to hiring manager / practice lead / area lead. Need to browse through LinkedIn. Premium helps too - it looks more genuine and you can send a email to the person directly.

It did for me, in a way. It showed me a set of people that made a move from my role into MBB, and I was able to replicate their move.

Update LinkedIn and accept some connections with head hunters/recruiters

I used it to find people who were working at the company I applied to, sent them an email asking to connect

A guy from Accenture reached out to my brother via LinkedIn and now he works for Accenture.

Thank you all for the inputs !

I recently had an interview with the hiring manager and they did 95% of the talking. It was the weirdest interview I’ve ever had. I didn’t know whether to interrupt and get a question and some comments in or stay quiet and listen. I couldn’t even gauge how it went. Has this happened to you.?
Also on average how many jobs do people typically interview for before they get an offer?
