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

Is it worth trying to get a counter to stay if I get the bigger offer?

I was just informed after the third round of interviews they’d like at least 5 references, two must be supervisors. My last job was a temporary remote job where I didn’t really interact with my supervisor and the jobs before that were at my family’s business (I do not speak to any of them for serious personal reasons.) Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕
