I just got another unsolicited email from recruiter trying to push a job position for another company on my work email. While I appreciate they have a job to do, there is personal email, there’s LinkedIn and other for communication they don’t need to cross the line and contact me on my work email. Am I overreacting?

Not at all. I had a company recruiter email my work email (that I didn’t provide) and immediately called to cancel any future interviews. They were shocked but I mentioned that there were plenty of other ways for them to contact me and that emailing my work email wasn’t something I was comfortable with.

Yes. The person that was supposed to interview me used to work at PwC and “knew the email convention” so “accidentally” sent to my work email instead of personal. I don’t know if they spoke to someone at the firm to get some background on me, or just decided to randomly email my work email, but either way it was a no from me.

How did they getet your work email to begin with?

The person I was supposed to interview with used to work at PwC and the recruiter said they were just “familiar with the email convention” and must have “accidentally” sent to my work email instead of personal. I assume they were asking their old contacts about me (which is fine) and somehow came up with it, but however they got it left a bad taste in my mouth.

Looking to confirm or crush my expectation as part of a business model. Are M&A like technology assessments somewhat standardized for angel investors or do you start by independently evaluating specific platform, data, code, technical architecture issues? I’m assuming there are individuals who seek technology risks for value opportunities while others avoid such risks. Is it common to ignore technology choices or are there other options I’m missing?
