Cold emailing former employees for recruitment process/interview advice?
Need some good advice here. I have a telephone interview lined up for a boutique and to mitigate the risk of screwing up, I saw a few past intern employees at the firm on LinkedIn.

Cold Emailing AM vs. IB?
Is cold-emailing/calling small AM firms for internships not as feasible as cold-emailing boutique IBs? It seems like there's perhaps less grunt work to pass off to an analyst/intern than there is in IB so I thought they'd be less willing to take on an intern. Am I right in thinking this? I've been...

Doesn't matter which company either - Is that just an outlook thing? It's all the same shade of blue too. Why Are Email Responses Blue? Up there with questions like “why is the sky blue” you may be wondering why all email responses are in blue? It’s a Microsoft default. Bill Bliss, a founding...

Cold Emailing a work address v. a personal address
I know that in general when you're cold emailing you're supposed to do it between 8-9 so it will be at the top of their inbox when they get into the office.

To Pun or not to Pun
So, I'm applying to a place, that's tbh, a bit above my league. I've got the email of the guy who heads up recruitment for the uk, and cyber stalked him. He seems a bit of a character, who loves his puns. Should I include one in my email (not cover letter/CV) It's tempting, really tempting.
