[QUOTE="ChuPnl, post: 73444, member: 10551"] Hi, First of all, thank you for starting this thread. It's full of very resourceful content and posts :) I’m not sure where to post this but I feel like it relates to this thread so I’m hoping someone will have an answer. I did an AC with a firm a while ago and connected with one of their current trainee at the time, who told me I could message him in case I had any questions in the future. I thanked them saying I would reach out in case I did have any. A month later, turns out I do have a question about one of the firm’s department. I wanted to gain an insight on this department so I sent out a little message to the trainee telling them why I wanted to gain that specific insight and politely asking whether they ever came into contact with this department during their TC and could answer a few questions, or whether they could suggest me to contact someone from the department who could potentially give me an insight. I tried to word it as nicely as possible (I’m a naturally very shy person who doesn’t like bothering people or abusing their time/generosity). However, turns out they ghosted me… And I now have a VS coming up with this firm… I now worry that this awkward interaction may impact my VS in a bad way, knowing that some firms take their trainees’ opinion of candidates into account for the TC selection. I honestly didn’t want to annoy them or make them feel awkward, and I really regret messaging them now… I know this isn’t a really closed question, but rather a ‘any advice’ type of post, so I’d really appreciate it if anyone had an opinion/advice on this situation and how I could potentially improve things. Thank you in advance. [/QUOTE]
