When there are no posted jobs, is it smarter to cold email HR or director levels? Or avoid cold emails altogether and keep waiting for jobs to post up 😭

Peers, managers, directors. Take them for coffee. Probe their experiences to learn more. Informational interview. Make a great impression, and keep in touch moving forward. Theyll be able to feel you out in a no-stress environment where there are no expectations, and if they like you? they’ll keep you in mind for when a position does come up, and they’ll advocate to HR on your behalf. Everyone wins.

Not at your level unless the shop is unknown

I will be joining MasterCard in the next two weeks, and my BGV application is still pending.
Is there any idea how long it will take to complete BGV, and will there be any consequences if BGV is not completed before joining date?
