[quote=Anonymous]Honest question –

If sending introductions (i.e. cold introductions to potential collaborators or hiring managers), what are your thoughts of continued use of academic email addresses? For example, these are not @alumni.institution.edu; but directly, @institution.edu.

Example:

jes2982@columbia.edu
john.smith@yale.edu

Asking as someone 10 years post college and graduate school, but embarking in a career shift and trying to determine whether it seems silly or will be helpful. It isn't necessarily the two institutions above, but HYPSM. Otherwise, my email would simply be (as an example):

john.k.smith@gmail.com

Also – Any thoughts on this in international contexts? Pivoting from finance to creative fields, and US graduate degrees remain highly prestigious abroad, despite changes in the current administration. This is for Latin America and Europe.

Grateful for any thoughts on this! The world is crazy – and one has to use whatever resources they have, when they can, as they can...
