How early can you get a referral for MBB summer internships?
I have begun networking for summer internships at MBB, and I have had a few calls with alumni so far. Is it too early to start asking for referrals, or should I be doing so already? More generally, how early before the application deadlines should I be trying to get referrals?
Urgent Bain Application Question - Office Location vs. Referral Location: Should You Apply In the Same Office Your Friend/Referral are in?
For Bain specifically: I'm trying to essentially decide how much it matters, in terms of providing any sort of advantage -- in initial screening, or otherwise -- if you apply in the same office/city as your friend who referred you works in (and his friend you chatted with that liked you) -- vs....

How to NOT give a referral to somebody that is being very pushy?
Hey guys, posting here (hopefully it belongs) because it’s six AM and I’m hungover but this thing has been obviously bothering me so much despite my state of drunkenness. I (F22) work in M&A/CorpDev in a F500 company. Getting this job was very hard, but I was told my profile was a good match....
Do I need a referral to win a full-time position at a hedge fund?
I know it's rare for an undergraduate to go straight to working at a hedge fund, but I'm super-motivated and already have hedge fund internship experience, certifications, and more. What I keep reading about are referrals. Are these absolutely required to win a full-time offer at a smaller/medium...
Referrals at Banks
How exactly do referrals work? I understand that networking is a big part of landing an internship/full-time role at banks and that referrals can be a way to make sure that your resume is seen, but who exactly is able to give a referral? For example, are analysts able to refer people? Just VPs and...
I know someone high up in investment banking - Is it a bad idea to ask them directly for a referral for a job via email?
I know a close, family friend and I'm 98% sure they would help me. What is the best way to play this out? Should I do the typical asking for a career advice, get them on the phone for 5-10 minutes, and then pull my ask? I'm only going to use the referral for an internship, so it's not like there's a...
How necessary is networking to MBB for target school candidates?
Hey, I'm a junior at University of Pennsylvania with ~3.7 GPA. I've heard that education matters for consulting even more so than IB . I'm wondering how likely it is to secure an interview at MBB without a lot of networking from a target school. I also have a second question. For networking to...
Referrals to other bankers vs referrals to HR to push app
I know there's a lot of posts on cold emailing/getting referrals, but I was still a bit unsure of how to go about getting your application pushed. In some of my calls, the banker offered to push my resume at the end of the call, but I was wondering what's best to do when they just refer you to other...
Can these connections get me an interview despite a 3.2 GPA?
I just learned that I'm connected to a managing partner at one of the MBB firms and another managing partner at a second MBB firm. I had a 3.2 UG GPA but it's from a target school. Despite this, can I still get an interview for a full-time associate job with my mediocre GPA if I can get these guys...
Passing along a resume?
I go to a semi-target school and know that a lot of BB banks don't recruit here. I've gotten in contact with some alumni and am pretty sure that they would be willing to pass my resume along for an SA position when I ask next year. Do they just forward your resume to HR? If so, is there even any...
Referral Fees
I've heard referral fees are typically anywhere from 20-25% of fees earned on money brought in under management. I was just wondering if those numbers stay the same for fund employees, or do they get a little something extra? I would also assume if someone can bring in an 8 figure commitment to a...
