Bankers telling me to keep in touch after call - what do I say?
Sophomore at a semi target here. Have had calls with analysts at multiple banks that all went really well. When I asked if they could point me towards someone else in the office to talk to, they’ve all told me to keep in touch and hit them back up in a month or two as HR hasn’t sent out sheets yet. How do I keep in touch? Should I just email them in a couple weeks talking about progress I’ve made?
Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some effective strategies to keep in touch with bankers after your initial call:
Regular Updates: Every few months, send a brief email updating them on your professional progress. Examples include:
Refer Back to Previous Conversations: Mention topics you discussed in your last conversation to show continuity and genuine interest.
Email Articles or Relevant Information: If you come across an article or piece of information that is relevant to their work or interests, share it with them. This shows that you are engaged and thinking about them.
Set Up Follow-Up Meetings: If you are in the same city, suggest grabbing coffee or a quick meeting to catch up.
Be Specific and Concise: When you reach out, be clear about why you are contacting them and what you hope to achieve. Keep your emails short and to the point.
Timing: Follow up in the timeframe they suggested, typically a month or two. This shows that you respect their advice and are serious about maintaining the relationship.
By following these strategies, you can effectively maintain and strengthen your networking relationships with bankers.

Just email them in a month. Meanwhile speak with other people
Ur cooked bro, "keep in touch" is banker speak for "you're blacklisted" maybe try consulting
Fr tho, just say that you'd love to keep in touch, and then the kicker is: you actually have to keep in touch after a month or two. Make a spreadsheet and track your timelines to make sure you actually follow up via email. Otherwise, that relationship might die and you become one of the hundreds of kids that don't make a lasting impression. In the meantime keep networking and filling ur pipeline
