You Can Pick My Brain, But I'll Want Cash Up Front
-
This article offers tips on how to ask someone the time-honored yet also extremely burdensome question: "Can I pick your brain?" It's the networking thing, or the free advice thing, that can be really awkward for everyone. Personally, I'm on the receiving end of that question all the time, and, yeah, it's annoying when people really want your expertise for free. It's worse when someone else asks you to offer your services for free to a third party you don't even know. What I'm trying to say is, there IS no really good way to ask to pick someone's brain, is there? (New York Times)
