Best Way to Approach Networking?
So I'm a rising senior interning at a middle market PE firm in NYC this summer. I had interviews with some solid banks for SA positions, but ultimately they didn't work out. I took my current internship knowing that it wouldn't likely result in a full time offer, and I'd like to bounce into IB, either in NYC or Charlotte.
I'm looking at mostly middle market banks. We're not a target for most places in NYC, but I go to a top-25 school and we have 3-5 alumni at most of the major MM banks. I recently got a list of our alumni in the city, and I want to begin contacting some soon. The problem is I don't really know how to word the emails because it's not like I'm looking for an SA position and can just say "I just want to learn more about banking." I don't want to come right out and say that I won't be getting a return offer.
What do you guys think is the best way to approach this?
Say you're interested in hearing about their history and, if you're feeling bold, how to position yourself for recruitment at their firm. Remember, though, that most people will either reply or not based on their personality/workload rather than the content of your 4 sentence e-mail.
