Does anyone know what an acceptable email response time for a networking email is? I usually do a couple hours because I am away from my computer most of the time. There have been times where it has been 24 hours. Should I try to be more responsive?
Thanks.

Wait im sorry what does Del mean ?
24 hours is concerning unless a holiday. Would recommend getting an email app on your phone.
Doesn’t really matter unless the person you’re emailing is a hardo
gotta be able to reply quicker than you can last in bed
so I usually reply in 20-30 seconds
Best way to show me you’re not actually interested and we’re not high on your priority list
What would be a good response time?
If you're trying to set up a coffee chat and we're talking about time slots I expect replies within 30 minutes.
If it's not a "chat via email" (e.g. I'm checking in with a promising candidate) I expect a response the same day (unless I email you at 11pm at the end of my day, then please don't respond before 9am the next day)
