I just took a conference room, but that client office was fairly barren. Many others take it in their rental cars or "call in sick" and stay in the hotel room.

I am working to secure an opportunity at a large corporation.

I spoke to a few people working in the same function at the company to gain some insight and have applied through a referral link.

I know who the hiring manager is but have yet to connect with them but I am worried my application will get lost in the shuffle.

Would it be fine to reach out to the hiring manager on LinkedIn as my application is under review or should I just wait it out?
