should i talk to mbb recruiters?

Hi guys, so i'm an undergraduate senior from the EU and I'm in the middle of the recruiting for MBB 2024 summer interships (announcement just got posted barely a week ago). I've talked (coffe chat) with a BA at the office I want to intern at and I KNOW I've made a "not so bad" impression on him, also because he asked me to keep him updated on my application.

Here's the deal: this person has repeatedly  advised me during our call to reach out to HR recruiters working at this same office and let them know about my application and I wholeheartedly trust this advice, however, its the exact contrary of what people are saying to do online (ie managementconsulted ecc)

What should I do? Any advice?

PS I just scheduled a call with an ex summer intern (2023), what would you suggest should i ask him to get the most out of our coffee chat?

It can’t hurt to network with a recruiter. I had a recommendation from someone in my university, but other than that I did no networking and got the offer regardless.

I also do not know of anyone in my analyst class that networked with the recruiter.
