I came across a role where I think I’d be a good fit. I think I found the hiring manager on LinkedIn. Thinking of sending her a note. Curious to know what folks think how I should approach it?

Could be just me, but I never respond well to that approach. I don’t feel compelled to respond to complete strangers on LinkedIn and I have faith in my ability to identify good talent on paper through resume reviews. Others might have different opinions, though…curious what other feedback you receive on this question.

+1 to BR1. When I have open roles it honestly annoys me when the candidate finds and messages me on LinkedIn. Like what’s your end game here?

Give it a try. It's on the manager whether she/he will reply or not. I think there's nothing wrong so go ahead :)

Appreciate your views.

I would apply for it and shoot your shot, clearly reaching out to hiring managers doesn't make as much of a difference - which is good to know in any case

Lots of introverted folks on this post

Applying to tech companies is different than high finance. There's a level of prestige and snobbery in high finance that you just don't know about, it absolutely sucks. Self confidence doesn't get your resume looked at.
Whole universe of coffee chats and cold emails that a lot of people are not aware of to break in outside regular recruiting cycles.
