Referrals for rookies:
After a few management positions in the industry, I'm starting a Msc Business Administration in September and I'm lining myself up for a transition in consulting.
Although I have a question regarding referrals.
In my book a referral is someone who can actually recommend you because they know who you are, how you perform etc. Yet, I see people here asking for referrals from strangers and strangers offering referrals. Does that even work??

At the very least it gets a human to look at your CV/Resume. It's definitely not the same as having a senior level person personally message the recruiter to give you an interview.

Just how bad would it be to quit without a two week notice? I’ve been bait & switched into a horrible role, overworked to the point of having medical problems, and no amount of diplomatic talks with my manager has improved the day to day. My mental health and my personal relationships have been on a steady decline.

I don’t have another job lined up yet. But I’m danger close to quitting and taking my chances with freelance. Could it be worth it?

It is in appropriate to ask what the compensation for a position is after a first interview if they want you to go on three more and the interviewers on my first told me that was above their pay grade to tell me?????

I can see in biglaw not bringing up knowing damn well if you get an offer itll likely be high, but this is a midsize
