I am reaching out to hiring managers directly on LinkedIn before applying now. Sometimes it leads to an actual conversation sometimes not. Has anyone seen this work consistently.

I've never really had much luck with it. I usually get ghosted or a simple, "we will review your application." If you were having good luck with it though, I might try it again.

I’m genuinely curious about this and if the results are different depending on role/industry.

I've never tried. The idea alone makes me feel uncomfortable. More power to the people able to do this without a second thought and make it work for them. I'm sure they're out there, I'm just not one of them.

I’m maxing out my 401K, traditional IRA and HSA this year and paying for some house improvements. I have about $750K total investments and very close to $2M net worth, but realize that I am behind on investments if I want to do FIRE. I was focused on paying off huge chunks of my mortgage and managed to whittle it down to $75K left. Would you suggest I go ahead and pay that off this year? Or pause and do a mega back door roth instead? I’m mid 40s. Thanks!

Curious as to how many deals at once is typical for a first year associate to take on (M&A, mostly private equity clients). Deal size is lower middle market and I’ve worked on deals ranging from $1-$110M. 2 deals at once is plenty for me, but it seems like my peers are able to take on more than that at once and still do fine. Maybe I’m just a slow learner/out of my league at the big law firm I’m at.

Offering advice to job seekers who go around recruiters and message hiring teams, execs, etc. You are putting the Recruiters job in danger. If a Recruiter declines you or doesn’t choose to reach out, it is because the hiring team declined you, or you don’t have the experience. You will most likely not be considered for future roles because of this. When I see people giving advice to reach outside the Recruiter, it’s bad advice. Very rare is this a good idea.
