Whatsup monkeys,
I got an interesting case on my hands. So I recently cold e-mailed an MD at a BB. Yet, he only replied to me: "Please get him in the intern loop" while cc'ing a senior associate (I'm guessing who works for him).
So my question is what does this MEAN? And what should I do as I'm totally new to this cold stuff. Should I wait for another email maybe from the sr associate or should I say thanks (although I'm not quite sure what to say thanks on).
Any help on this would be awesome! Thanks guys.





Send an short email thanking
Send an short email thanking the MD, while saying you will get in touch with the SA. Ensure the SA is CC'd on the email. Follow up with an email to the SA asking for the next step in the process. Normally the SA should contact you in a few days. Good luck.
Are you doing a fall
Are you doing a fall internship? Summer internship recruiting is over (January) and full-time recruiting doesn't start till Fall.
So I can assume that I will
So I can assume that I will be getting some kind of internship/interview and thank the MD?
I actually kind of wanted to do an informational interview with him and get to know him and then spin it off to some sort of fall internship next year for summer analyst positions.
Thanks for the comments guys
Nice of him to reply. Half
Nice of him to reply. Half the MD's I actually used to work for used to ignore my emails.
This has happened before to
This has happened before to me...twice with BB. Sometimes the senior will just pass your info to HR because they usually always push it to them anyways and then you just get lost in the shuffle. I say thank the MD and then see if you can get an informational interview or a phone call with him. Building that relationship is very critical. Though sometimes they just won't give you the time of day other than that...nice of him to at least do something after a cold email.
Follow-up with the senior in a week if he/she doesn't reply back...probs will though considering orders came from MD.
BB will not give fall internships usually so if you're a junior, you might even be pushed to full-time recruitment group. If it was for an internship off-cycle, it would probs be in the MD's group and then he'd continue discussion with you. If you're sophomore, then you'll get pushed to the SA intern recruitment for next year. Hope that helps.
