Who got email for resuming work from office.
I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.
Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.
JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?

There seems to be quite a few people in here looking to join a startup.
We're a mature aerospace impact startup (in Switzerland) pre launch for a new platform to engage and empower passangers in order to accelerate sustainability in aviation. Our product website is www.adaption.me and company website is www.optimaero .ai.
If you're interested in joining us, and you think you have skills that suit our business, you could drop me a speculative application by email at hello@OptimAero.ai.

Def introduce yourself, and offer to help. We hired you after all to do your regular 9-9 job.
This one is tough. Could make you look like a great new employee, could make you look like a try hard
Or trying too hard to blend in
Don’t be a try hard. Your VP will prob make the introductions

What's wrong with saying hi and introducing yourself? Just give your manager a heads up. Maybe they want to formally introduce you.
Comes down to personal style, but seems like an unnatural intro style vs. getting to know them in meetings. If you don’t see them in meetings, put time on their calendar. Otherwise, you’ll just be a newbie who is forgotten.
If you’re not getting enough exposure, as your VP for visibility and intros as well.
Firstly, talk to your manager and ask him or her to formally introduce you. Then offer to reach out on your own and set up 1 on 1 time to get to know them and their teams etc. I don’t think you’ll come across as someone whos trying hard to fit in or brown nose. This is professional courtesy and a leadership trait. Don’t be cocky. Be humble and cordial.

At a 300 person org, attending office hours would be both more natural and more fruitful. Go in a month once you have questions/context.
Personally, I’d say no. It depends on the culture. If it’s a slack heavy culture, an email will feel out of place and you may not get a response- that doesn’t mean they didn’t read it or you didn’t make an impact, it’s just that email is a type of communication that doesn’t require a response so you may not get what you are looking for from the email. The C-suite will get to know you through your work, and if you’d like to get to know them, ask for an introduction from your manager (could even be a slack / email introduction) to the c-suite in your reporting line, and go from there. Maybe even ask your reporting-line c-suite to a 15 coffee chat and keep it causal with a question or two that’s relevant, like some history on where the company is today, more insight on current priorities, etc.
Yes
How many mid level managers are there? And what was the highest level of employees you interviewed with?
I'm kind of learning towards not. Might be more appropriate to send to people in your most likely to work with or in your direct department.
Ask your manager to set up face time / a one on one for you. That will also help you understand what kind of relationship you and your manager will have going forward. Managers aren’t just there to assign tasks, they’re also there to advocate for you and help you get in front of senior leadership (at least a good manager is!).
Ask your manager, if they say yes, have them make the introduction.
Perfectly acceptable.

Hmm, i don’t think it would benefit you to email cold.
Instead focus on getting to know your immediate colleagues and take opportunities to meet others as the opportunities arise.
