Very detailed article Richard, thanks loads! 2 questions: 1) Attaching resume in the cold email (with and without a job listing), yes or no? 2) How about cold emailing buysiders (PMs)? Thank you!
Resume is less and less important if your LinkedIn profile is strong.
1) If there is an active opening, yes. If not, no. But ... some people just don't like resume in first cold email, but we aren't mind readers, so there is that. No right answer here.
2) If you don't have relevant experience (and you must be intellectually honest here - stock picking experience at a RIA is not institutional caliber buy-side experience), more important to attach a great stock pitch.
