Can I text a banker that I networked before (1 or 2 calls) instead of email?

Not like close friends at school but alumni. Guy was helpful back in the calls before but unsure if it's professional if I simply text him - though I think there's a higher possibility for him not to notice my text compared to email

Wait till they give permission to text them, as otherwise its highly unprofessional

 
Funniest

Yeah text imo it’s good to text tbh makes you look like you don’t wait for permission and are calm guy 

 

Your uncertainty shows your level of confidence. You make safe choices. You’ll fit right in with the herd. If you text him he’ll respond and remember you. It’s a better channel too 

 

Why you change it from “ok ngl i just gonna send email to them haha“ to [].  You prove again you need to make the safe choice. You’ll fit right in man.
