Just as a single data point, the last clause here isn't true in my experience. I worked at Google for a few years some years ago, and I get a regular flow of recruiter spam from all the big companies for Bay Area roles, and have never had any friction turning them into interviews.
- fossuser 8y agoYeah, but you had to work at google first. I wasn’t clear, but I meant in order to already be working at a famous company you probably already had to figure out the referral piece at least once.
- wutbrodo 8y agoAh I see, I misunderstood the final clause as stating that you need a referral _as_ an ex-Googler etc. Thanks for clarifying!
