WWYD: you referred a case to a colleague and you didn’t discuss a referral fee but the client (who is your acquaintance) tells you that they are working with your referral. Do you reach out to your referral like hey, x told me you guys ended up working together and things are going great, do you do give referral fees? FYI- this is about six months later

I don’t expect a referral fee when I send someone a client. I just hope it leads to something for me going forward.

For PI cases, I do expect a referral, especially since we give generous referral fees. For all other matters, I do not expect anything.

I would ask just like how you noted. That will give you more info so you know to refer more clients to this attorney or not.

It varies for me depending on the attorney. PI we always expect them. In any other area, if we typically refer back and forth then no, but if it's one sided then yes. I think it needs to be discussed ahead of time. However, here, I think what you have in your original post is perfectly appropriate for bringing it up in hindsight.

I have a phone screen interview with AWS for the position of Systems Engineer with the Linux team early next week. I’ve been a Sys Admin for the last 4 years, and I’m not very well-versed with coding. The phone screen does have whiteboard coding, any tips on what I could do to prepare for this? I’m not sure if I can let the interviewer know I’m not too strong with coding. I do want to take up the challenge, and also find out if the role would require extensive coding though. Any tips?

Hello all,
I have given interview on 19th Nov 2022 and the same day, I received an email to upload some documents. Can someone tell me how much it would it take to move to the next step in the recruitment?.

Had a first round interview scheduled for a large CPG brand. My interviewer never called me, and I emailed following up to confirm the call. It’s been over a day and no response. What is going on with recruiters? I tried giving them the benefit of the doubt, but not even an email back saying “something came up” or “we’ve moved on” ? I’ve been ghosted after every final interview during my recent job search, but never had I been ghosted before even having the first call??
