I'm curious for those that say "dm me" about referrals, what do you do to make yourself comfortable that you are referring someone that you would want to work with considering you don't know them at all? It seems to totally defeat the purpose of referrals

Perhaps there is a referral bonus?

There absolutely is, but the idea of a referral is that you know the person and can vouch for them. There is a certain expectation that you know the person will be good....that at a minimum the referrer would be happy to work with the person

Referring someone you don't know completely defeats the purpose and honestly is an disservice to your peers

I was recently offered a “promotion” from Senior Director to… a Senior Director with a much bigger team.

I’m basically doing the same role the VP did before me (brand, campaigns, strategy, design, web, content all under me).

I was offered NO pay bump with the additional responsibility and NO title change. My base is 200k… and my highest paid direct makes 180k for doing about 1/2 the work. I get no equity because we’re private.

I work for a very profitable tech company. Is this fair?
