CanVPs/ MDs from S&T get me IB interviews?

Hi first post- so hello.

I am rising sophomore from a non target but managed to get in contact with multiple alumni from my school who work in finance. I emailed them and met most of them in the city this summer as most have been really supportive and urged me to keep in touch.

Most of the VP/MDs I met from my school who work in the bulge bracket work in sales and trading. However I am more interested in research or IB- can they still get me an interview for summer IB positions or do I have to network directly with IB bankers to get to the interview stage for a summer analyst gig.

I am looking for a summer analyst role two years from now and started networking.

Thank you for the response!

I met most of them face to face already this summer. I said I would update them in the winter and I guess that would be a good time to set up calls and ask around?

Of course. Without a doubt.

I used to do Asia-Pacific PE (kind of like FoF). Now I do something else but happy to try and answer questions on that stuff.
