I keep getting emails from someone who works for http://alphasights.com (also according linkedin) offering me $350 for an hour long consultation with a client... seems so fishy. Anyone else got something like this?

How did they find you? Did somebody introduce you to them?

There’s something about them on Reddit maybe that will help.

no idea. I haven't answered (yet)

looking at reddit.. some people suggest this is legit.
A bit off-topic... their website says that their specialist teams, the ones that actually provide "Knowledge on demand for today’s decision makers", is comprised of recent graduates. I'm not surprised they hire juniors for that, I'm surprised they're honest about it 😅

So you mean honesty is fishy? @dromar56

I did have the call with them for about 5 minutes. They asked if I had heard about certain products/companies that was all and I didn't know any of them. Felt like some weird way to do market research.

If they come from prestiges university mentioning recent graduate is not a bad thing
