Is this actually a thing?!???
My bank does
Never heard of this, how tf does a bank see your LinkedIn pm and connect requests?
The connection to LinkedIn is encrypted by HTTPS, your bank can't see shit
Yep this is very common. If you connect with any non-targets the bank keeps a note of it and usually you'll end up with a lower bonus. Hope this helps!!
This is great
No? How would they possibly see this
If your bank does it tell them to fuck off
I’m happy to as long as a have an analyst role at a HF lined up
Only ever had guidelines as to what I can post
My bank does this because we're "licensed securities professionals". Its very sketch to connect and network (and potential lateral.) I dont know the extent to which they actively read the messages, but its within their purview
I think if you're FINRA licensed there are some restrictions, but not sure how closely its monitored.
