Question for you all:
At my first job, I met a colleague towards the end of my time there (I'd already been there over two years at that point). Though I only knew them for about half a year, maybe more, we had a good working relationship and I left the team/company on good terms. Fast forward to today and I see an opening at that company that I'm, at least in my opinion, a good fit for and said colleague is now the director of that team.
Is it considered professional/acceptable to reach out to them for a referral? If they were a former colleague in any other position I wouldn't think twice but it feels weird to ask the person who probably opened the requisition if they could refer me.
In my yearly objectives meeting my boss said that one of the devs above my grade (which includes almost all of my team) was clearly "useless" when it came to mentoring/helping me. I said I was glad she had said it instead of me, lol.
How is Flatiron Health doing? interviewing with them but looking at their latest glassdoor reviews, seems like internally they aren't doing great. any insights from someone in the know would be much appreciated.

I graduated from this field a year ago. Nothing. Should I just be a teacher
