I agree with @"goodoldboy", with one modification. I personally just forked out the dough to send some InMails. It worked well enough, especially when it came to contacting alumni, most of whom worked either for BlackRock or S&T at a large bank.

Burn bridges in what way? I typically just reach out to hear about people's experiences, if I'm lucky they'll ask for a resume and maybe offer to push it forward. Most people are pretty helpful from what I've gathered.g
Hey, theHill. Thanks for offering your help. I rather not post my resume for everyone to see, because I'm currently interning somewhere.
edit: Also, looking for advice from people in a FT position, in corp. fin. I noticed you are still in school and are interning in banking (not a field I'm interested in.)
Before my banking days, I had a background in FLDP and 5-7 F100 company recruiters reach out to me on LinkedIn about their FLDP or other "high-level" finance positions. LinkedIn can work... although I never recommend reaching out randomly on LinkedIn. It might work for you in landing a job, but then again the pay is consummate with the quality of the connection that you established (e.g. you're not going to get an offer from GE that way). I would definitely look into your alumni network first and foremost before hitting up randos on LinkedIn.
Are your past internships with F500 companies? Are you at a target school for F500s fldps?
You talk much about pay. What are your salary expectations? Before you tell your current offers off, check your expectations. For F100 FLDP companies in NYC, ALL IN comp falls between $65-80k. In top 10-20 MSAs you should expect $50-65k. Base is usually $5-10k less from the all in comp figures.

protip: randomly connecting with people on linkedin will yield zero results.
Got my first gig that way.

I agree with CPAExtraordinaire. If anything, you could burn some bridges and end up alienated if you don't go about it correctly.

Post your resume.

Really appreciate it though.
