Response Back From MD

Hi guys.

I recently cold emailed a managing director at a small boutique and to my surprise, I got a response. He told me that he would direct my application to the recruiters, but it will take a few months for them to get back to me. What are your guys thoughts?

OP LISTEN: What you should do is sacrifice a chicken every single day and pray to the dark deities of the nether realm so they can influence the managing director to give you a job in one month instead of a couple.

I don't know OP what do you think. He said it'll take a few months.

I'm not a real banker though...
