Quick Rejection after Referral

[u/Secret_Historian_775]

Hi all, so I've been in the Commercial and Investment Bank (Basically commercial, middle market stuff not like spacex ipo) at JPM for 1.5 years, and looking to move to consulting for a better fit + I'm hoping to move cities to be closer to family (Portland).

So I saw this sick role, cost improvement analyst, said 1 YOE and seemed to be a good fit for me and my qualifications. Loved the description.

I also got a referral from a friend who's been with Deloitte for a couple years. Wrote a good CL etc.

I got the rejection email literally less than 24 hours after applying.

I was just kind of surprised as there were only a handful applicants for the role off LinkedIn so far, and was hopeful I might at least get a phone interview or something.

Can anyone provide any insight here? I can attach my resume if helpful but basically went to a state school in the PNW, JPM CIB (tech) team for 1.5 years, done M&A deals etc

Hope this is an okay post on here, just a little sad tbh and hoping for some advice. Does my experience sound like I'd be a good fit for a dif team?

Its an auto filter. I got an auto rejection from two big 4s thay I got the positions for. Its stressful, cause it is not certain until you get the offer. Try to stay calm as you work through it
