You've heard of drunk texting? Well, last night I did one better. I "drunk LinkedIn connected". After a long day and one drink too many I requested to connect with the CEO of one of the biggest real estate private equity firms - only about $40B AUM. He accepted this morning, probably wondering who the hell I think I am. Lesson learned: don't get on linkedin if you've been drinking.

Ray Dalio rejected my LinkedIn request and my application to Bridgewater so it could be worse
Weird flex, but go off I guess
I don't even think this is that bad. I always throw a request to someone high up at a company I'd work for. Why not, you have nothing to lose and potentially something to gain
You know, people used to wait in the lobby of buildings to meet somebody. Now you're worried about adding somebody on LinkedIn? Bro have some balls...send him a message. He will either just ignore you or respond, he's not going to go out of his way to ruin your career. He has better things to do than that...
Just curious, how do you think people would take that these days?
Some might be ok with it, but I would bet most would ask why you didnt find them on linkedin or send them an email or something.
I don't want to work for them, I don't know why I connected with him. Actually I'd really like to work for GS, but I'm pretty sure sending David Solomon a linkedin request wouldn't do much good.
Lloyd don’t work there no more brotha
ha! You're right. Guess I'm still drunk from last night.
@Lloyd BIankfein"
Did this and sent out like 250 requests once, don't know 99% of them. Think my drunk mind thought something cool would happen if I got the 500+ connections
haha! I know the feeling. I finally got to 500+ the other day. Nothing exciting happened but in my small world it feels good to be in the 500+ club. As long as they are quality connections.
Ok?
I catch myself requesting hot chicks as a power trip sometimes when I’m drunk.
The guilt will fade. No biggie.
I don't know what I'm supposed to do with this information.
I wonder if it feels weird to me because I'm a female and he's also pretty hot. Ok I'll get over it now.
It is because you're a female... Males don't overthink asinine things like this
Weird flex but ok
LinkedIn/networking is the last thing on my mind when I'm drunk
love this!
Thank you guys for helping me realize I (as a girl) over analyze things like this!!
