Letting people know where you land is important, but thanking those who supported you along the way deepens the relationship and encourages the conversation to continue.

On the other end of the email train, whenever I get one of these profile updates, I use it as an opportunity to reconnect. I got one yesterday, and promptly sent off the following: "Congratulations on your new role! Tell me more about it when you have a minute." Not many people send this sort of follow-up, and it feels great. This is great, Jason.
