People don’t owe you a response. If they reach out to you that’s one thing, but no matter how much you harass someone, there’s no social contract that obligates them to get back to you. If you really want to get in as much as it seems, take the call.

6 months ago I sent a few LinkedIn messages (each a week apart), I sent 3-4 emails (a week apart), had someone internally send in my book, then hand wrote a letter and dropped it off at the front desk and got nothing in return.

Finally they replied the other day and I’m completely ignoring them. I feel liberated.

Here is my idea for a startup! I collect all the data from career transitions and use Data Analytics to predict the most likely career transitions. I could start with consulting. What do you guys think about this? I would be able to predict based on your firm(mbb, big4), your experience, which role you are likely to move (Faang pm, strategy manager, move to mbb). I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?
