do you refer everyone who asks you to?
my bank has many job vacancies and I keep getting emails and messages on LinkedIn from kids asking for advice and/or if I know someone. I do share my experience but I am reluctant to reach out to anyone in my firm about people I don’t personally know. I say they’re welcome to use my name when applying though. I am curious to know how everyone approaches this and how do you help others?
MM in tier two city (Think SF/Boston/LA)
so boston
No SF. Every city but NYC is tier two when it comes to finance
LOL SF/LA are both Tier 1. Dude is tripping.
Why do you cucks have to shit on people for something as small as city tier? Who cares if he thinks Boston is tier 1 regardless of whether or not it is. Shut up. Are you in charge of creating and enforcing arbitrary city tiers? Does it make you feel elite that you work in a “better” city than an anonymous professional on this website?
I email HR directly about any excellent candidates and refer any strong and / or highly motivated ones to another junior guy after our call. For anyone who doesn't impress, I tell them they can use my name when reaching out to others at my firm.
Good story for why IB -- not just because everyone else is doing it
Clear interest and rationale for my firm, firm type (EB vs. BB vs. MM), group, and location
Good cultural fit and tries to have conversation rather than Q&A session
Asks for referral and follows up with recruiting / application updates
can you refer me
