When should an applicant attempt to follow-up with a LinkedIn resume submit? And what method should that follow-up take?
a little background.
I'm attempting to switch career paths late in life (52). I submitted to a position on LinkedIn that I have the qualifications for, with a company that I'd like to work for (according to my research). It is in a different industry than I've worked in so far.
The job posting does have a "Meet the hiring team" message mutton.

I clicked the "Message the Hiring Team"
led to an offer to upgrade to LinkedIn premium,
What?!?! $30 a month?!? pass. literally, social media/networking is not in the budget.

Hi, my advice I give to people, wait a few business days, usually 3-7 business days after you apply. For example, if you applied Monday, follow up Thursday,or Next Monday. I don't see Fridays as a good option; Fridays people have already mentally clocked out for the day and weekend, and are least likely to fully pay attention to what was sent.

thank you

I’m currently interviewing with a few top 10 firms and a couple top 100 firms for a mostly remote experienced associate/new senior role. Does anyone have any tips on virtual interviews and how to gauge the culture of the firm and if it really will be a good fit for you? I’m struggling to figure out that out because I used to gauge it on the feeling I got while in their office during interviews. Any suggestions would be helpful :)

Can anyone provide any advice, or has anyone successfully moved away from sales?

My old employer asked me if I wanted to come back to the company as a manager. The pay will likely be much better and the position holds more responsibility than I’ve had before, so overall it would be a step up. The issue is I left the company because of an abusive manager who constantly put me down and made me feel like I wasn’t doing anything right. If I come back I’d be working under her again. I’m torn because the opportunity is great but the stress was awful. Continued in comments…

Hey guys,

Currently in Saas sales for MDM and AV, but I'm getting tired of the sales side and constant budget chase.
