What do I do from here

Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some steps you can take:

1. Networking with the Hiring Manager:

   • It's a good idea to ask for the name of the hiring manager. This can help you network directly with them. When you reach out, make sure to:
     • Ask for an Intro: Politely request an introduction or express your interest in learning more about the role and the team.
     • Win Them Over: Ask insightful questions and sell yourself by highlighting your relevant experience and skills.
     • Follow Up: If you don't hear back, follow up in a couple of weeks. Make notes in your phone or calendar to remind yourself to follow up.

2. Next Moves:

   • Prepare for Interviews: Study technical interview questions and be ready to discuss your experience in detail.
   • Network Heavily: Continue networking with other professionals in the industry. Use cold emails and coffee meet-ups to build connections.
   • Stay Persistent: Keep applying to other positions and networking. The more people you connect with, the higher your chances of landing a job.

3. Articles to Read Outside of WSJ:

   • While the context doesn't specify particular articles outside of WSJ, it's generally beneficial to read industry-specific publications, financial news websites, and professional journals to stay updated on market trends and industry insights.
