Trying to network by adding MDs on Linkedin but some take forever to accept. How long do MDs usually take to accept requests ?

If you consider that networking...
MDs not using LinkedIn bro lmao
They probably thought you didn't have enough prestige to deserve an accept.
Please don’t spam MDs on LinkedIn
Most MDs only check their LinkedIn a few times a year. When they do accept requests, its usually only from their reports or people in their firm. So, you can put in your requests if you want, but I recommend you find other ways to reach out to people.
Doubt this is true. Their job is to network...
Edit: I keep getting these stupid alerts from some of you idiots. I guaruntee MDs check their linked in more than “a couple of times a year”. I’ve seen a bunch of them quite active. Given that they and clients keep their linkedin up to date, i can assure you that they are looking at it. They just don’t respond to people they dont know because it’s not worth their time.
Anyways, please get a clue and have fun dreaming about getting into this stupid industry.
No. Just plain no.
Not every MD is in a position that is required to network. Of the ones that do, LI is the last place they look. Plus there's the whole spam aspect of it; I'm two levels down from MD and I get junk every day on LI. I can only imagine how hard it is for those with an MD role.
Based on my sample size of 372 MD linkedin friend requests, I’ve calculated a median wait of 6 weeks with a standard deviation of 112 weeks
Am I in the minority here for believing you should wait to add people on LinkedIn until after speaking with them either over the phone or in-person? Not up to speed on what the kids are doing these days.
Agree with other posters, fuck off with the spam. College kid here and I get spammed by at least a dozen reqs weekly from random kids at my school etc. People really think pressing the connect button is networking. Why would a random MD bother to add you?
Agreed that emailing is better in my opinion. Get so many spam requests from people on LinkedIn I’ll just shut you down but if you email me you have a chance
MDs don't have time to answer to peasants
We dropped someone during recruiting this year because they added an MD on LinkedIn without ever even meeting them and the MD found it weird.
ur team sounds bottom tier as fuck
That guy you dropped is lucky. Can't imagine how fucked the culture is on your team.
I had a department head add me back in 5 minutes once, but I've also had some never add me back so it totally depends. With MDs though, I never just randomly add with no message. It's always someone I've already met or someone I sent an inmail to. Never just a random request with no message.
