Wanting some advice….I had an a lengthy phone chat with a partner at my dream firm. It was an informational interview and went well but referring didn’t come up and kinda slipped my mind. That was about a week ago. Would reaching out through email asking if he felt comfortable referring be appropriate or should I try and get a referral from someone else?

100% reach out. He's got a million things to worry about and likely forgot. Worst that can happen is he says no or doesn't respond.

If you haven't sent a thank you email, send one and reiterate your gratefulness and strong interest. Also, ask if he/she would be willing to refer you.

A CRO offerred me an internal consulting/biz dev role. They offered 145k TC (20% bump) and slightly better benefits. They also offered accelerated path (6mo to 1yr) to MC. While promotion to MC at my current company is at least 1 year away. The job is interesting to me and fits my careery goal. But my big concern is that I've only been with my current company for a year (this is my first job, post PhD). Would this affect my resume in the future in terms of being viewed as "job hopping"?
