Hello community,
I was rejected for the BA position 8 months ago but I was networking heavily so one partner put me in touch with one recruiter and she told me that I should apply for the Junior Associate position as I have more than 2 years of experience.
However, she does not know I got rejected for the BA position 8 months ago in a different office. I would like to apply for the Junior Associate position now and have a referral from EM.
1 - Is the ban apply to all the positions?
2 - Also, I have gone through many LinkedIn profiles of JA and saw that they have a similar experience as I do. Is the bar a little lower for JA positions as for the BA position they hire from Ivy leagues or from top Business schools whereas for JA positions they look for experience. This is just my assumption. Would love to know from experts.
3 - Do I have to wait for another 4 months to apply or am I good to go with an EM referral and can apply early?
4 - Also, I have a partner from another office who is ready to refer me and liked my profile. Should I go with EM (same office) or Partner (different office)?
