idk if it’s just bc im gen z or not, but im not meeting up with a stranger for a 15-30 min coffee chat, it would probably take me more time just to get there than the amount of time we spend talking…like tbh i don’t see the value in it lol id way rather just hop on a zoom call

I’ve met people for coffee from LinkedIn it’s really not that big of a deal. You can also meet them half way to shorten the commutes for both. At the very best you land a new opportunity and at the very worst you make a new friend.

Ask for in perosn, always better. But leave the option for zoom if they are busy.

I don’t think either option is better than the other. People reach out to me often for “just 15 mins of my time” or “a quick coffee, and I’ll pay for the coffee” and I usually say no. The main thing to focus on is why that person should want to meet you.

My 2¢: treat it how you would offline.

If you saw someone you wanted to chat with but didn’t know them, how would you approach them? Also, how would you want to be approached in that situation? Do that.

What I usuallly do:
I greet them, let them know why I’m in their DMs, and ask about a “virtual coffee.” My why is always to hear and learn from them because of their experience doing something I’m interested in. 9/10 I get a “yes” and end up having really great conversations.

I also like when people reach out to me that way because it gives me a clear idea of what they want. So, there’s that.
