Writing a LinkedIn reco for a senior account manager I worked with. Can I ask what account people...what would you want mentioned in yours? Really want to do them justice.

Make it personal so it could only be about them while also complimenting the job they do. Employers can find a thousand good account executives who look good on paper but the ones that stand out are also interesting people

Ask them. I always tried to have LinkedIn recos and cover letters try to hit points that I felt were weak spots in my resume. That’s so dependent on the person, so no harm in asking. I also have definitely shot drafts over to people I like and said ‘gonna post this - see any issues or things you want me to add before I do?’ Makes it easy and useful for both of you

They said “speak your truth” when I asked lolol

Would kind of offer grant would you expect from high conviction Series B tech company if you wanted to switch? Would you be good with 1:1 match? would you be ok to get less because potential upside is higher?
