Cold Email/Messaging for SA26, by email or Linkedin?

Just wondering which gets more answers. Feels like someone would just see your email, be to busy, and forget to answer it. Linkedin would be more practical, but opinion is controversial. So just wondering what you guys think

Hey could you provide the sample or model you used? i'm hardly getting answers on linkedin/ email. Totally bummed rn since SA26 are so close and don't have one referral as of today :(

 

LinkedIn is so cooked lol. Emailing is standard.

You’ll get no responses right now since recruitment is 99% over until after summer when banks reopen or lmm boutiques start recruiting.
