god bless the people that get coffee chat requests and decide to be really helpful

I just want to say that to the people who get coffee chatted and decide to talk to them and give long and detailed answers to any questions that the kid chatting you has, thank you so much for existing and may your time on this earth be blessed.

I know it’s not your responsibility at all to carry the burden of the conversation but to those who decide to be as helpful as possible, it makes talking to you and the whole networking process substantially easier, more enjoyable, and very helpful. My last 3 chats all went for an hour and they were genuinely so interesting and helpful, and it was ridiculously easy to ask organic follow up questions. Appreciate everyone who just decide to be really helpful
