I think best bet is to have your friend figure out the right recruiter and follow up

That they would pass my information on to the right recruiting team. It's been over a week and I'm concerned my referral got lost in the mix. Should I reach out to the first recruiter again to follow up? Or should I reach out to my friend who can put me in touch with the correct recruiter? I'm not sure if it's normal for the process to take this long, and don't want to look like a jackass for trying to go around their recruiting process

My experience is you get dumped in the referral pool and anyone can find and contact you. Unless the Principal sends you directly to their recruiter.

Agree with M1. Best of luck!

I had a weirdo recruiter from EY's Federal practice contact me once even though I made it clear I was commercial only. Definitely made me reconsider my interest.

I do like the company that gave me an offer but their base pay was 80k and they went up to 85k. Is asking for them to match the 90k too much? The position is associate systems engineer.
