Which email to network to?
Hey monkeys,
I've tried searching this up a bit but can't seem to find any direct or clear answers.
When you connect with people on Linkedin, you can often see their contact info which includes their email. However, often it is their personal email which they used to make their Linkedin profile - i.e the address is gmail or yahoo
My question is it okay to network and contact them through their personal email found on Linkedin or try to guess their work email address at their current firms. I'm a current undergraduate trying to network and don't want to come off as a total d-bag who just sends an email to someones personal address. People who are currently on the Street, any thoughts when people reach out to your personal email instead of work for networking?

If they accepted your invite on Linkedin, they're OK with you having whatever email they put on there.
Reach out to their personal email, and they will probably give you their work email to use going forward.
okay thank you! I didn't know which one to use as I've read on here that some people try to guess people's work addresses based on the company format
i would argue the opposite...i would suggest sending a linkedin message and ask for their work email to ask some questions about their business
I've sent emails to both personal (i.e. like yahoo) and have received responses, and also work emails. However, I had the chance to meet the people beforehand. If I've never met the person, like I've ONLY connected with them on Linkedin with no personal message, then I was thinking to try and guess the work address. The thing appealing about using their personal email was that it possibly wouldn't be as packed as the corporate one.
anyone else have tips or thoughts?
I've sent a million cold emails. I use email and linkedin in different cases.
everyone that I potentially cold emailing is either a uni alumni or I've met. I always use my school email to network. Have you ever sent cold emails to someone's personal email that's listed on their Linkedin?
