I'm 19 so the bar for "impact on my life" is relatively low, but probably choosing to cold-email a bunch of startup CEOs whose emails I guessed at the start of 2019. It got me my first SWE internship, which helped me get full-time positions afterwards.

Nice one!

How many email addresses did you try for each CEO ? I'm guessing the most common one is firstname.lastname@company.com ?

I sent only one each since I put in my guesses in some free email validation site beforehand. I also sent out emails to other C-level people.

The formats were usually firstname@company.com for most of them, but firstname.lastname came up a few times.
