Thanksgiving Weekend

Want to be respectful of people's time this holiday. Would it be disrespectful/bad to send out some coffee chat emails on Monday/Tuesday this week? Is it better for me to wait until after Thanksgiving is over? Thank you.

I would wait for the Monday after Thanksgiving and use this week to brush up behaviorals and technicals - most people r going to be thinking of traveling / working remotely / meeting with family and may probably just be less inclined to answer. I understand the concern with burning a week of not networking but think if you use it wisely you’d still be in a good spot (can use these days to tee up a few batches of emails too). Timelines have really moved up - I didn’t start networking until January a few SA cycles ago
