So I'm accepting an offer at one BB and rejecting another BB. Should I friend request people who've been in contact with me at the firm I'm rejecting?
Who do you request on LinkedIn? Do people even use LinkedIn for lateral recruiting?





It would be awkward for you
It would be awkward for you to send a connection request to someone you interacted with at the BB you're turning down, but didn't develop a strong connection to. Don't do that. If there was someone that you really hit it off with, make sure the old-fashioned way (a phone call) that they are still sending you positive vibes. If so, you could send a connection request to them.
Here are some other tips on using LinkedIn if you're in job search mode. Of course the best time to be looking for a job is when you're not really looking. In other words, building relationships with people and helping others will make your next job search process much easier.
