Emailing Analysts on ER reports
Hello,
I have been thinking of doing this for some time, but need some advice. I am trying to use ER reports and models to look for internships/FT ER roles for this coming fall (mainly FT). I have realized that ER reports are good sources for contacts since they list their work emails, but I wanted to get feedback on the following:
1) Is it better to email the top analysts/VP's/MD's that are listed on there, or go for the lower tier guys? Obviously the top guys will have more pull. but would that be a turn-off for them to receive a random email? 2) Can I go straight to the point and ask to be considered for an interview or is it better to go the networking route?
Thanks for the help.

1) It doesn't matter what their level is. Anybody can get you a first round interview if they want to (as long as your resume isn't a total disgrace). Its more a matter of getting lucky i.e., reaching someone who is not busy and in the mood to help a stranger. Don't worry about bothering people, if someone gets mad that they received a cold email they're just a d-bag.
2) Just express interest in the line of work and the person's particular sector and ask for a quick call. At the end of the call if it hadn't already come up, ask to be considered for an opening should the time come and say you'll follow-up with a resume. Bookmark the jobs portal and follow up if you see the groups hiring.
Thanks. So what if I email them a stock pitch and my resume, and ask to be considered for a position that they have, or ask if there are any other openings? Would that be too direct? Would they be less likely to help without at least talking to me on the phone?
Stick to number II (networking route, perhaps share a brief stock idea).
Per Mifid II rules, banks/analysts can only share ER reports to clients who PAY for it so unless you are ready to pay, don't ask + yes it will be a "turn off" asking to share work to a non-client.
