Am I supposed to accept LinkedIn invitations from people I don't like/respect?

Been on the buyside for too long to remember how to kiss ass properly. Never was good at this actually...

BTW, not trying to humble brag that I'm important or popular. I'm not important.

What's the move here?

Hedge Fund LinkedIn Review

“My meeting with Kevin Lee was super helpful and went well beyond what I originally expected. We met to discuss my LinkedIn profile, but the conversation also covered the hedge fund space and how I’m thinking about my career as a whole. I really appreciated being able to talk about both how I present myself professionally and the broader direction I want to take. As someone interested in hedge funds but also exploring other paths in finance, it was helpful to have a conversation that connected my profile to my actual interests and goals. Kevin gave me a lot to think about, and I left feeling clearer about my next steps. Overall, I really appreciated his time and willingness to go beyond the original purpose of our meeting.”

Hedge Fund Mock Interview

“He was very responsive and prepared for the meeting. He actually read the JD, resume, and looked up linkedin which sometimes other mentors doesn't actually go over those to prepare things beforehand. I appreciate his direct comments I think it saved time and actually helped me to know exactly where to improve. I also appreciated him admitting if he doesn't know about specific HF strategy. Only thing I'd suggest for him is probably sending actionable key takeaways after the meeting because other mentors did and that was very helpful. ”

I have a friend who lives in the country, and it's supposed to be an hour from 42nd Street. A lie! The only thing that's an hour from 42nd Street is 43rd Street!

Kind of heading that way already. Do I want to manage more risk? Sure, why do you ask?

Iusto fuga laboriosam repellendus unde sed ad et. Enim sed consequatur ex voluptatum. Deserunt libero nam nihil consequatur reprehenderit iusto.

Fugit eos ratione suscipit ducimus est. Ullam quia ex tenetur aut. Minima magnam ut tempore quaerat eius nulla voluptates. Sint ut laborum perspiciatis omnis pariatur aut rerum.

Sunt id quam ratione sit. Ea illo quis et perspiciatis ipsa nulla.
