Is reaching out on Linkedin the best way to contact a recruiter, or should I look for their professional email?

Generally, yes, but it's best to do a little research on the recruiter before reaching out to them. Some recruiters prefer to be contacted through LinkedIn, while others prefer to be contacted through their professional email.

Either one works, worst case they'll probably just tell you to contact them through their preferred method

Linkedin has been positioned as the best option ever since it was born, today it is always, and today it is the best option, the only bad thing is that it seems that employers still do not understand its functionality. I recommend you to stay on Linkedin, I wish you luck.

You can easily use both, it's the best way to embrace the smartest options. Visualize if they have LinkedIn and even more if they use that Linkedin if you see low traffic go directly to the professional email, if you do it in both media you can be noticed very needy.

Currently scheduling “on sites” for a S&O role in CA. My referrer said they can hire as L5 or L6. Would like to land in the L6 bucket as I’ve heard 5 --> 6 is one of the more challenging promotions.

I’m looking for info on what the real difference is in responsibilities (manager vs IC, cross functional vs focused, etc) so I can focus on checking the L6 boxes during my interviews.

I’m also curious about whether this is something that I should just discuss with my recruiter directly?

Here is an insight for you all today—key elements to living life with purpose.

Finding purpose in your life changes the way you think, behave, and communicate with others. You lose track of time because you are too busy enjoying what you have at the moment.

To find purpose in your life requires three key elements:

1) Presence
2) Values
3) Challenges

Without these three elements, you can never feel fulfilled and live life with a purpose.
