I am looking at a position for an Engineering Manager at Airbnb and I was wondering how a referral would work. Do I apply and then a referral is added afterwards? I have been waiting for a position to open up at Airbnb and I want to do everything I can to put my best foot forward. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
It makes more sense to apply with referral as the resume directly gets in front of the hiring manager. And usually the process is more structured via a referral. Expect a call with a week with the next steps.

Thanks, you should go with Referral and I hope it works out for you ... it will give good raise to your TC
70% ics are Chinese
Are you sure? They look like Asian Americans. Most of the profiles show they had bachelors in US college. Microsoft is 50% Indians. Intel and Qualcomm are 70% Indians in engineering. Their undergrad are in India. I rarely see 2nd generation Indian Americans but see many 2nd or 3rd generation Asians. They are Americans not Chinese. You don’t call Russian Americans as Russians. Same thing unless you are a racist. I think it makes a big difference in pre Ipo as most of Indians and Chinese tend to go to work for big tech for Visa.
Chinese Americans and Chinese Chinese in America . Mix of both
If you’re looking to be an EM presumably you have some work experience. In what world do you apply online first then ask for a referral? Even ones that make you apply online (eg google, LinkedIn, Microsoft) you get the referral first. Surprised you don’t know something so basic...
I have worked at smaller companies where a referral is walking over or messaging someone in HR to say "hey, keep an eye out for Joe's resume." That didn't seem like something that larger companies would do, hence the question.
