When networking or following up after submitting an application, have you found it more effective to reach out directly to the hiring manager or members of the team you're applying to-rather than trying to track down the aligned recruiter for the req?
I've had situations where my application was rejected or ignored by the recruiter, but when I reached out directly to the hiring manager, they reviewed my background and moved me forward to interviews. Curious if others have experienced this too?

Thanks!

Have any of you pursued a graduate certificate in cyber security? If so, did you find any value in it? I currently have Bachelors and Sec+.
