At the advice of a previous post, I have sent around 20 cold messages today. I've gotten a pretty good return rate saying about 5 accepted my connection. One even offered to schedule a calling time.
Is it alright to send them messages at night around 8-11 or will this just annoy them?

Dude, nobody’s paying any attention to your message time stamp and even if they were, 8-11 is totally reasonable. If you’re stressed about it Gmail also has a “Send Later” button that you can use to push a message at the hour of your choosing
Thanks
I'd be more likely to respond if the message was sent in the morning rather than in the night. At night, most people are more interested in getting their work done and heading out. Then, it's most likely to not get read after that.
If you sent an email in the morning, I'll usually respond to it sometime in the afternoon or whenever I get down time during the day.
You’re going to be working those hours anyway in the job so makes no difference
Had to re-read the title, initially thought it was about massaging Bankers during the night (wtf?)..
