School Networking Expedition
Hey everyone, I am new here to WSO . I have been reading a lot of material on here the last few weeks. I have some questions regarding networking and some expeditions my school is planning.

What would you do if you were sitting next to a BB senior banker on an airplane?
I’m a student at one of those non-target schools in NY . As the semester was over, I flew back home to see my family. On my first flight, I sat next to this mid-aged gentleman who dressed in a full suit. I didn’t pay attention to him until my eyes caught “Goldman Sachs,” “JP Morgan,”...
Long-distance networking- where to start?
I know need to network extensively to secure an internship (I'm at a non-target) but unfortunately I live in Canada and I'm obviously too far away to meet up for an informational meeting. Where do I start? If I am to cold call who do I ask for? Is a job at a BB unrealistic? Any info/tips would be...
Networking in U.S vs. Europe
Was wondering if you guys had thoughts on the differences between networking in the states and Europe. If you apply American networking techniques, is it considered pushy? For example, calling to follow up after a couple days?
Networking calendar
For those who've been through the SA recruiting cycle, what are times of the year where you witness a high response rate? What are times when most analysts are too busy or getting ready for their vacations? For example, my cold emails of the last week or so have hardly got responses.
Investment Bank Networking
I have previous IB internship experience and bit of buy-side experience as well. During my undergrad days I networked with people in investment banking through emails like: "I'm in school XYZ and want to learn more about IB career...informational meeting, etc" (This was when I had no IB experience...
Networking Email Question
I have connected to BB VP through LinkedIn and She has her personal email on LinkedIn. Should I send her message in LinkedIn or on her personal email?
Find out if/when your email has been read by the recipient!
Now this is very interesting, I've had an interview lately and sent a "Thank You" note after it. Got no reply, and of course, its a weekend and I shouldnt expect it. However, I stumbled upon few free programmes, some of which could do wonders for you... [quote] They allow users of an almost every...
Did I not network effectively?
SA recruiting is essentially finishing up at my semi-target school ahead of resume drops. It's been a productive quarter; I've met a lot of bankers from many different shops and have learned a lot about what different groups and opportunities are out there. I've had generally good conversations with...
How do you get a banker to 'fast forward' your application?
Hi, I've been networking with alumni from my university. I've also applied for internships at the same bank that they work in. I was just wondering, how do you go about trying to ask them to get your application through to the next stage?

Hello Singaporean monkeys, Quick question! Do finance expats in Singapore go home/take vacation on Thanksgiving? Was planning a trip and network with people there but I'm not sure if they're staying and only go home on Xmas/New Year or are they taking vacation on Thanksgiving as well. Kinda don't...
How to reach out to Prop Shos, BB S&T
Alright so my primary internship of choice right now would be for a Prop trading firm, or just go straight for bank's S&T . I would rather do S&T for a BB , but I feel that is very difficult to get an internship for them from a non-target. I think they go more for quant people at top tier ivy's but...
