I just started an investment network for angels/accredited investors to get connected with startups and small businesses. We have 20 pitches and many more building pitches, but struggling to onboard accredited investors. Anyone have any advice/ideas for outreach?? Really passionate and willing to work any channel to expand our network. Thanks you!

Strategy& fish - i’m currently recruiting for org strategy. Ive talked to associates (in the healthcare practice) and theyve mentioned that it doesnt matter whether youre in corp strategy, org strategy, etc and that you’re pretty much pooled by industry when it comes to staffing.
Can someone confirm this? Also, what do you expect the restructuring to look like?
Got a random email from a supposed Amazon recruiter for a SDE position (which is not at all a fit). The email is amazon.com domain and there are no red flags in the body but it doesn't feel like an Amazon recruiter due to the tacky signature, etc. Has anyone seen this kind of cold-calling from FAANG recruiter?

Oh sweet child
Usually around one year. But sounds like you haven't worked a project yet? I know it sucks that you've been on the bench for so long but I would wait until being staffed at least.
Long bench stints can occur for new hires. Spend the time networking, upskilling, and enjoying the time off. Maybe visit another office. Take the time to get involved in internal initiatives, sales, or ERGS. Great way to meet other people, build promotion case (on the internal side), and do something interesting.
It gets better, and you can help prevent this in the future by making sure your network is robust and skills are valuable.
Are you using the time to learn anything or are you sitting there? Take some accountability and use the time.
Tell us why it’s been awful for you.
Are you with D?
I would advise being patient. You wouldn’t want to quit without doing any actual consulting. Then you can find out if you like it or not. Quitting while only on the bench is like quitting baseball... while being only on the bench?
7 weeks? You should probably give most books more than 7 weeks, and you're thinking of quitting a job? Really?
Lol
You think this is gonna be different anywhere else? Every job has its frustrations
I would wait until at least 1 year before quitting.
Lol
