I have a very basic question regarding networking on LinkedIn. Is it appropriate to reach out to 3rd level connections to try to get a foot in the door with companies you’re interested in? I’ve reached out to 2nd level connections with the permission of the mutual acquaintance, but so far, I’ve been too timid to just reach out cold.

I've done it before without much success (though a few people have responded, like if you have the same alma mater or if you have some kind of common touch point). I think it would probably be best to have someone introduce you virtually though.

Thanks

My boyfriend is only 6 months older than I am and he is kicking ass at his job. It’s so hard to feel that even though I work 1.5x the hours he does and had to get my CPA and a master’s that he is making way more money/getting more recognition. His company wants to promote him to to manager soon while I feel like I’m licking shit off the floor for a pat on the back. How do I not get jealous???

I was approached on LinkedIn for an early career recruiting role in DFW, TX. I don't have direct experience, but I have the university experience/connections from working in career services. This is the first time I've considered work outside of higher education. I said my salary expectations are minimum $90k and that didn't seem to be an issue. Am I asking too little, too much? How can I know I'm getting the best salary and not just settling at the low end of the range?
