Based on the most helpful WSO content, there has been a noticeable increase in the volume of cold networking emails received by professionals in investment banking, especially during peak recruiting periods. For example, one user mentioned that they typically received around 3-4 inbound emails per day during busy times, compared to just one per week earlier in the year. This suggests that as IB becomes more popular and competitive, the volume of cold emails has indeed risen over time.
If you're planning to network, timing and personalization are key to standing out amidst the growing influx of emails. Avoid shallow or generic asks, and focus on building genuine connections.
