Also, if I go to a semitarget and haven’t really done much networking yet, what’s the move at this point? Is it too late, or should I just start reaching out aggressively now?

Implications of Evercore and Lazard Pushing Up to September 8th:

If you're targeting other banks, expect their processes to potentially shift earlier as well, so staying proactive is key.
