Hi {{first_name}},
Here's this week's Saxa Sidebar. Been a couple weeks, so this one covers a bigger stretch than usual.
Every week a flood of new openings comes across my desk before most of them get any real attention. As a fellow Hoya, I want to put that visibility to use. Call it Hoyas helping Hoyas.
No pitch, no pressure. If you're happy where you are, just delete it. If something catches your eye, or you're quietly curious what else is out there, reply and I'll tell you what I know about the role and the firm. Where I have a direct line to the hiring team, I'm glad to get your materials in front of a person instead of a portal.
Here's what's new this week:
