I have few years of experience in IB. I'm looking to lateral to a new firm. Is now a bad time to send networking emails? I applied to a few jobs online but I really wanted to increase my chances of getting an interview since "I'm in the zone" and I also have the time. Previously I was just applying online or talking to recruiters.
But I realize that a lot of people will be in holiday mode so I could just wait till January.

Bump. Also interested.
Same. Would like to hear for SA27 as well. Do we start emailing after new years?
As in you've yet to email somebody? Or you're following up on emails you've already sent
I am referring to lateral positions
Yeah it’s a pretty bad lol. Just enjoy your holidays and wait after new years
Agreed—networking still works, but only if the outreach is genuine and well-timed. Spray-and-pray emails definitely get ignored right now.
I went through banking now in PE, schedule all your emails for Jan 6, 10am. No one is responding to networking emails now
Why Jan 6 specifically?
Its a tuesday in the new year,
Monday will be too busy
