Accidentally sent a cold networking email thinking they lived/worked in City A when they actually worked in City B. How do I recover?

If it’s cold, probably better to just forget about that one and send out emails to the city you’re targeting. Tough to recover from mistakes in cold emails in my experience

Maybe they won’t respond. Otherwise I’d still talk to them about what they do in order to network, but not push my resume

Is this that bad that I should just forget it?

I think you’re making it a bigger deal than it really is. Half of cold emails are ignored

Well, it's just a contact of a buddy who used to work there, so it's "cold."

Moved to the city about 6 months ago and I’ve been disappointed in my experience. I know the pandemic is playing a factor but I didn’t expect the winter days as gloomy as they’ve been. For those who have lived here for a while, is this normally what the winters are like? What do you do to keep things interesting when you can’t go outside? Last two months have made me consider moving but part of me feels like I won’t have given the city a fair shot

I realized a slow pace at work is really bad for me.

Wrong, I spend weeks following up with other teams, often times they forgot what we discussed, so I spent 50% if the time reminding them of the topics and next steps. I spend most of my time writing memos no one will read.
