Advice on the best way to apply for an Investment Associate job at Bridgewater Associates

Hello. I would like to ask for advice on the best way to apply for a job at bridgewater. Do I apply on the website directly? Or would finding a referral inside the company helps? Any tips is appreciated. I am a mid career professional who have 10 years of consulting/finance experience. Please no comment on the bridgewater culture. I am aware of their culture and want to proceed with the job application. #interview #finance #bridgewaterassociates #bridgewater
