Best time and day to cold email partner

Hi all,

I have searched through the forums and found some responses but wanted to know what everyone thinks in the current environment. What time and day is it best to cold email a partner (alum).

Big law job hunting if that counts. I know this may seem like a silly question, but understand that there is some psychology to this (i.e - best not to email mondays/fridays etc). What does everyone think?

I would think it best not to email on Mondays when the flurry of emails kicking off the work week begins. In the same vein, I suspect emailing on a Friday afternoon is unlikely to get you anything other than "recycle bin" but open to everyones thoughts...

I did the same thing as you plan on doing, and I sent my e-mails on Tuesday, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at around 8 AM.
