Hi y’all. What are your tried and true ways to contact the people you’ve networked with for help? I’ve started casually looking for a new role. I have close to 700 connections on LinkedIn but when I reach out to them for referrals or help in any way, no one responds! I message them in all the ways we’re supposed to: friendly, mention something that relates to both of us, short and sweet. Not sure what else I’m missing. Any tips??

Just keep sending requests and messages. There are some events in most states where tech companies gather together. There you will find people who will help you make connections.

Start with your school mates… in my cohort from grad school we keep in contact and share when our company is hiring… start with people you know… if you don’t know anyone in your career start to build you network in your industry. I’ve gotten a couple of roles from my grad school cohort as well as the inside track on what the manager’s management style for better alignment.

I would try and connect with folks in person through networking events!

I think you’re just having some bad luck. I have great connections on LinkedIn. Nevertheless, why don’t you join other tech bowls here too and see if someone has any referrals?

Being active on here in other bowls definitely has its perks! I’ve definitely utilized the job referral bowl as that seems to be working better than my LinkedIn connections lol

Hi fishes, what are the chances of Pwc AC rescinding an offer, given the market condition. The offer letter I have received seems to be generic and doesn't look it is for a specific project. The role seems to be generic. I am a little hesitant, specially because of HR's behaviour who doesn't seem to care responding to my queries and ignores all my emails and calls. Any advice?

I was fired last month after a short time at the company. I knew things weren't going well- it was a terrible culture fit & I was also planning my exit strategy. They wouldn't give me specific reasons other than to vaguely say it was performance related. I agree I made a few dumb mistakes (none of any dire consequence) but what kills me is that I tried really hard. I don't want to change careers but I have a deep seeded fear that no matter how hard I try, I will never be a "good attorney".
