When I see a new job posting on LinkedIn is best practice to apply immediately or reach out and network with individuals first/ask for a referral?

By the time it's out it's usually too late to network. Try this: find some companies you want to work for, network with them and then when a posting comes up ask some one or a few to refer you.

Would push even harder if you were in school. It's the best time to build your network since most people are willing to chat with students! If you don't like networking then that's another thing entirely and one that *might* hamper your career

Be fully prepared to apply, but allow 24 hours to see if you can be referred. If it’s a big company, when you apply there is sometimes a code they have to give you for your app. If it’s a small company, you just apply normally and they can email internally to tell hiring manager to look at your application specifically

I know that some other associates at my level are approximately 30% behind other associates in hours on a month to month basis. Yet all of these associates say they are “at capacity”, and myself and another associate still end up being assigned work instead of them. How do we handle this? For reference, all associates are around the firms minimum requirement, it’s just that a few of us are 30+% over and it is leading to burnout.
