Hi everyone. I want to know if I should be focusing more on building my LinkedIn network rather than applying to BDR/SDR roles.

I just started using LinkedIn maxed out my personal network to a whopping 32 connections. I just want some insight if not having a lot of connections looks a little strange to hiring managers.

Thx!

Go to each of your 32 connections and click on their profile. Down the righthand side will be "People also viewed". Hit the Connect button for those folks. Under that is "People you may know". Hit the Connect button for those folks, too. Don't forget to hit the "Show more" button at the end of each of those 2 lists. (I have 10,000 connections on LinkedIn)

Start connecting with recruiters, they are more likely to accept your request in my experience.

2. How long (time) will it take to get an offer?
TIA :)
