There are 2 people I can ask for a referral: manager at another office (different city) or senior associate at the same office. Is one better than the other for landing an interview?

The more important question is does either have an “in” with the group or partners that the job you want is with. The network is more important to getting the interview than than who. If I give a referral, I’m reaching out to the hiring team to give a heads up n

Manager

If senior assoc knows project/project leadership then them, if not prolly manager

Friends, need some feedback on an idea:

Not looking for the narrative arc of How I Built This or Masters of Scale. Instead, looking to uncover specific problems faced by companies that tried something new for the first time. What did they not see coming, how did they adapt and measure, etc.

What are your thoughts on this format?

Hi Fishes,
I cleared LTI all rounds and in HR discussion we came on mutual agreement for 16lpa .I have 7 years of experience and they gave me Specialist - Data Engineering(P3) role. And we agreed I will join with after 60 as I had to serve 60 days notice period. I was waiting for offer letter and when I received the offer letter I was shocked to see that CTC mentioned was 14LPA and joining date was only 15days from now ,which is way early.
