Following up after applying?
Is there etiquette around this? I recently applied to a boutique repe shop and am contemplating reach out to the hiring manager via linkedin.

100%. I almost landed my dream job by cold emailing (not LinkedIn) the hiring manager of the team. A well-written and thought out cold email can work wonders if executed properly.
What did you say in this email? Could you give me any hints on what I should write in the follow-up after submitting my application?
3 yr update: not only did this email work but I eventually got called for the same job 1 yr after and got hired. I still work with the guy that hired me but in a new venture.
I just went back to take a look and here's all i did:
1. Immediately confirm that I am reaching out to follow up on my application for the job
2. one sentence elevator pitch about my experience and how its highly relevant for the role
3. Explain why i was interested in this specific asset class (since its niche) and listed 3 relevant deals i closed
4. ended with :I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss your team's needs, as well as my experience, in more detail to see if there is a potential fit here. I look forward to hearing from you.
What;s the most interesting: I never got a response to this email, but my boss confirmed down the line that it's the reason I got an interview.
