A CD said he wanted to chat and he said expect to hear from his assistant. How long should I wait to tell him if she forgets to contact me?

A CD with a assistant 😳😳. Balla alert

I guess I missed the day where we got assistants

Send a thank you note to him the day after you spoke. Follow up if you havent heard in a week.

Depends. Do you work in the same company or is this a job opportunity?

If you say that the CD wants to talk and gave you their contact info to put a time in the calendar, they should feel obligated to respond. I would be very surprised if they ignore you as it’s very different to a cold email.

It might just be easier than bugging him. He may even say he’ll sort it out, it’s only a suggestion. Up to you, but it gives you some different approaches.

Reach out to the assistant/forward the note.

Linkedin?

Your CD sounds like a D-bag

Thanks!
