I'm sure this has probably been asked before but is it okay to LinkedIn message the hiring manager who has posted about an opening on their team? After applying to the role of course. For context, they haven't really stated "please reach out if interested"

Can’t hurt imo

Why not, you have nothing to lose. The worst result you’ll get is they don’t reply.

I would reach out to them before you apply and ask for a quick phone call. Best case they send you a referral link to apply and you have a way better shot

Thanks Deloitters, always first to respond :) and @D3 taking your advice and reaching out before applying.

I believe in the philosophy of learning from other's experiences, success stories, mistakes and regrets while keeping in mind that similar set of life events may unfold into totally different ways/outcomes for others as there are always too many variables in the equation called LIFE.

Looking at exits into pharma and biotech. Have an opp at a biotech at the SM level. Total comp excluding equity is around $190k; RSUs vest over 4 years with annual refreshers, so first year equity would be around $6,200 and it would go up by $6,200 each of the next 3 years, plus whatever base bump I get. Very good benefits package.

They envision 2-3 years before I jump either to AD or right to D. Solid opp? Or hold out to go straight to director level?
