How do you approach your email inbox? Do you try to keep up with it daily or have set times throughout the week to respond to email? For me, I try to clear it on Fridays to start the week fresh.

I try to keep up with it daily and respond to emails when they come in. It's obviously not always feasible, but I hate having my inbox cluttered so I try to stay on top of it as best I can.

I just deal with it as it comes in. If something is pending, I will make an effort to get it wrapped up by the end of a week, just so it's not hanging out there. But I don't have a really organized system for dealing with it, it's more like just handling things are they arrive.

I have mine organized and automatically filtered within categories. It's helped clean mine up

Depends on what comes through. If it has any sense of urgency I’ll get to that right away. Everything else I try to wait until set times, or else I will spend all day just reading and sending emails and then I fall behind. Keep telling myself to set up the filters, but haven’t taken the time to actually do it yet.

I organize it in folders

Daily as they come in. I can’t stand to see large numbers of unread emails in my inbox.

I received a verbal offer for a VP position at CCB line of business at JPMC in NYC two weeks ago. The recruiter asked for salary expectations but there was no number set. It’s been two weeks since and complete radio silence. I sent an email to a hiring manager a week ago but received no reply. It’s August so people could be on vacation but this is really strange. Has anyone had similar experience?

Having tough time deciding between IB & Consulting. My thought process: I have a "better" background for IB (TAS/valuation) and with tech layoffs, this might push more potential would-be tech applications to pursue consulting (there by increased competition)? Additionally, you can do IB intern and full time consulting but not vice versa. I prefer consulting, but IB seems like the "safer" option? And if consulting does get hit hard, I would hopefully have a full time IB offer via internship.
