References Question
If a firm is asking for references before you’ve got an offer, is that a pretty good sign they’re going to offer you?

Re: References Question
If the firm is asking for references before you get an offer, then it probably means it is more likely than not that you will get an offer, but I would say your odds don't increase higher than that based on the reference check alone.

Re: References Question
When I lateralled the firm I was interviewing with asked for my references before my first in-person interview, just as part of filling out the paperwork. So I don't think it meant anything in that scenario, but who knows how this firm handles things.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Sun Dec 04, 2022 5:04 pmIf a firm is asking for references before you’ve got an offer, is that a pretty good sign they’re going to offer you?
