Can someone please help me with how I should follow up with my MD at GS connection?
So I have a solid connection with an MD at GS that a family member got me. Right now I am a sophomore. Freshman year around 5 months ago I reached out to him as kind of an intro call. I said I was interested in IB and would love to learn more about his experiences. He described his day to day, what he credits his success for, all that stuff. Now my issue is I want to follow up now, but have no idea what to say. I was thinking something along the lines of "As I am starting my sophomore year now with recruiting approaching, I wanted to ask if you were in my shoes what would be some steps you would take to favorably position yourself when recruiting comes? Or something like that. I have no idea if that's good or not. Anyone have suggestions on what I can say to follow up with ?
Thats a really solid approach. I tell the kids I mentor to say something very similar -- basically the idea is to sell yourself without obviously selling yourself. You want to setup the conversation in a way that makes him offering to push your resume/recommend you the natural next step. Alternatively, if he gives you advice, write that shit down, do what he said, then follow up with him in the next few weeks/months (basically whenever you've finished the stuff), and thank him for the suggestions, letting him know that you took his advice and what the result was. I did this when I was recruiting (basically focused on cultivating relationshps rather than one-off networking) and it helped me build a strong network of people willing to mentor/go to bat for me, especially coming out of a community college to a non-target, and transitioning into a lower BB.
