Hi, I am a Masters student at Georgia Tech. I worked at Oracle HQ for 3 years as Senior Software Developer before joining grad school. I am looking for a referral for Lyft. Thanks a lot :)
Dude just go and apply on the website. Y ask random strangers to refer. What is this new trend, I see strangers msg on LinkedIn for referrals too.
There is a reason y referrals are in place and it's not to refer complete strangers

Why do you care? Do you know how difficult it is to get noticed nowadays if you just apply via website? It’s extremely competitive. Plus if you don’t want to make money by referring people mind ya own business
Agree with New. I applied online so many times,I pinged recruiters on LinkedIn. No response, nothing at all. Then a random stranger referred me and I received an interview call. Given I have been through this struggle, I know how referrals can make or break someone's case. So I now refer people all the time. Students especially have a hard time getting traction. I was experienced when I went through the struggle, I can only imagine how difficult it would be for a new grad.
