So an MD at EY said he would put me into the referral database but got a message saying I was already in there. Someone off of Fishbowl put me in there and he wants to know their name. WHAT DO I SAY

You could say something like you were trying to get referred at EY for a long time now and reached out to a lot of people in your network, so you don’t know/remember who referred you. Definitely make it sound like they are your network rather than random people on fishbowl

That you were at a networking event and someone offered to refer you but you can’t recall their name?

That doesn't answer the MD's question

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
