Best place to meet IB recruiters or network with IB's.

I've been working for 3 plus years and would like to move into IB as an analyst. I don't have any contacts in the IB world and am cold calling folks in the industry. Looking for suggestions on how to break in?

  1. Where did you go to school?
  2. What have you been doing for the past 3 years?

Start with family and friends in the industry. Then alumni from your school. Then any connections your family/friends/alumnis might refer you to. Then cold call.

Buy a networking guide (finance oriented).
